Oh.. I remember, I had this problem too and to get acad working I needed
to do something [1], but later that became unnecessary. I thought
that the "fix" got stored somehow inside ~/.wine directory
(eg.: acad did save its window geometry on exit), but apparently not.


[1] Ok, so since you have this problem, here is my fix - but it is
sawfish specific! 

  middle click on the desktop to invoke sawfish menu -> Customize -> Matched 
Windows

  Then click "Add" and set 1st rule in the "Matchers" box:

  (dropdown menu): Class     (text field): ^Wine.*$

  In "Actions" box, click checkbox "Position" and give some X,Y coordinates 
(like 50,50)
                    click checkbox "Dimensions" and set size to eg.: 800,600


Now every window that has 'class' which matches regexp ^Wine.*$ will
have position and size as specified. This will force acad window to
have a "normal" size.

In fact this feature is one of the reasons for which I am using
sawfish, but maybe other window managers have this too? ;)

did it help?


BTW: if there will be a similar problem in compiz or metacity I will
have no idea how to fix it in those WMs - I never used them longer
than few minutes.
