I'm also new to the current Wine, but somebody on the wine-users
list/newsgroups (see <http://www.winehq.org/dev.shtml#ml>) mentioned the
current mechanism. Now you can override the global settings in
"AppDefaults" sections in your ~/.wine/config like so:
[AppDefaults\\YourProgram.exe\\x11drv]
"Display" = ":0.0"
"Managed" = "N"
"Desktop" = "900x675"

Yes, the documentation seems not to be up-to-date at the moment.
