Full screen startup and Mac dock

I've searched the various forums (fora?) and RTFMed, to no avail.

Is there any way to have CrossOver startup in full screen mode, but consider the screen only to extend to the TOP of the dock, so the bottom of the app running in CrossOver is not behind and obscured by the dock?

TIA,

You could use the winecfg control panel, virtual desktop setting to set a custom screen size. Put it to something like your monitor's resolution -100 and then when your program runs fullscreen it will allow room for the dock.

This works on a single monitor configuration, but then limits usable resolution on a dual monitor configuration. What would be nicer is for CrossOver to enable restricting full screen access from using the area used by the dock. As an example, and not as a cheap shot, Parallels offers this choice.
