[SOLVED] WINE and NVIDIA issues - scrolling away from fullscreen

Question

Hello again... more problems from me.
I seem to have a problem with my WINE running fullscreen applications, such as games. When I start, say, a fullscreen game, it does start in fullscreen, but if I move my mouse to the right or bottom edge of the screen, the game screen "scrolls away", and I'm shown my desktop (at a lower resolution). When I pull my mouse/touchpad back to the left or upper edge, the screen returns.
I'd love to post screenshots of this, but those show nothing useful
(which leads me to a suspicion there might me something wrong with my display configuration - but this is only a suspicion.)
It happens regardless of Compiz or any other window manager, and regardless of the "Graphics" settings in winecfg. This is only the case with WINE; I've tried some native fullscreen games, which work flawlessly.
This is really annoying, as it renders most of the games unplayable.
I have an NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT graphics card, and am running the 64-bit Arch Linux. Here's my xorg.conf and my Xorg.0.log.
I'd be very grateful if someone could help me with this. Thanks!

Answer 1

there was also a workaround I came to, but it was a messy one compared to this. the idea was to make a batch script for every game I would install, which would first call the xrandr <resolution>, then wine the game, and after that xrandr back to my desktop resolution. needless to say I had this as a last resort, since this would mess up changing the ingame resolution, and don't even get me started about the mess it makes on the desktop
