RE: Battle.net menu hack

Tested on wine 1.5.1 : works like charm.
But I needed to put wine in desktop emulation mode in 640x480, and switch to this resolution before playing the game.
If I do not, Battle.net will not recognize my version (because it depends on something drawned on the screen...information taken from the Blizzard forum).
So I did a script/launcher which do this:
#!/bin/sh
old=$(xrandr 2>/dev/null|grep '\*'|awk '{print $1}')
xrandr -s 640x480
sleep .1
playonlinux --run "StarCraft"
sleep .1
xrandr -s $old
(yes I use PlayOnLinux to handle wine and its prefix, handy ;-) )
Be careful, this script will need modification under dual head configurations.
