Ok, so I'm running D2 in Wine, got it working properly and everything. However, it's confined to a 800x600 "emulated desktop" window otherwise it fubar's my actual resolution. That's just fine with me, but when I click outside the window (which I often do on accident), wine tells D2 that it got minimized and D2 "chickens" out of the game, causing me great annoyance.

Anyone know how to stop that from happening?

You might be right about that, Joe.

I don't know how well it works with Wine, but there are many applications for windows that allow you to press a hotkey that locks your mouse into the current window or screen.  I use UltraMon, but I'm sure thats not what you need.

There's a setting in wine itself that allows D3D programs to lock the mouse on them, but then I don't have the option to go change the song when I'm back in the chatroom, etc.

Impossible. Even if it were possible, settings are loaded on startup, so it wouldn't affect it until the next run anyhow.

Windows failed me, perminantly. The disk ran away. Either that or these multiple Linux disks sitting on my desk where the Windows disk should be have slaughtered it and hidden the corpse.

No, it is definately possible and doable.  My 'question' was a suggestion ;)  Then again, if you using a comparatively featureless gui like xfce, binding hotkeys may not be a builtin feature.

Shell scripts work wonders for loading settings on startup.

I'm not sure which of these work, but try:

xvidmode
xrandr
dxgrab

Or you can try Cedega.  Cedega comes with all three of those and uses the best one automatically.
