[ale] X resolution changing

[cshobe at softhome.net (Casey Allen Shobe)]

Been thinking a bit...I have an application, xdosemu, which I would like to
have start in a 640x400 X resolution.  I've already mentioned dedicating a
machine for this, but what I would really like to be able to do is this:

Click shortcut to DOS Prompt in a window manager.  xdosemu starts up on a new
desktop in 640x400 mode.  When I exit it, I am back on my regular desktop.

I know that there is some way to start two instances of X - so perhaps this
would be one possible way?  Or, what if 640x400 is supported in my XF86Config
-- is there a way to call that resolution when the program is launched, perhaps
in a script?  How would I make this window be borderless and stay on top of
other things, such as the window manager's panel?

Thanks for any advice,
