change screen resolution for particular program

Running old programs, especially in wine (winehq.org), I frequently would like to change the screen resolution prior to running the program and return it to my normal resolution afterward. While a wine-specific solution would work for my purposes, I would imagine this would be accomplished by adding some extra commands to the launcher. I imagine something like

screenres -c '10240x768';wine /path/to/program.exe;screenres -c '1280x1024'

Is there a command line utility to do this?
Is there some better ubuntu way?
If nothing else, can wine do that?
