Wine asks a WM to switch off the fullscreen state as a result of
app's request to change its window size to something less than
a screen resolution. So, the fix would be to change Metacity to
not restore window's size if it's no more the same as it was before
entering the full screen state.

Also I notice that IE when returning from fullscreen state doesn't
restore its caption back, while under KDE it does. Let me know whether
it's a known/fixed bug, or if further investigation is needed.
