This is the best way of running GameMaker that I've found so far.
First time:
Install GameMaker: I've used a bottle called gamemaker, but this is not essential.
Create a file called gamemaker.sh in your home directory, with the following contents. Make sure the line labeled RESOLUTION= is correct. You may need to change the line with BOTTLE= if you have installed GameMaker in a bottle other than gamemaker, CX_WINE_PATH if your CrossOver isn't in ~/cxoffice and GM_PATH if you've installed GM in a place other than the usual place.
Press Ctrl-Alt-F1. This should take you to a text login prompt.
Log in.
Type 'xinit ./gamemaker.sh -- :2'. This will load GameMaker full screen.
Load whatever game you want.
Double click on "Global Game Settings"
On the "Graphics" tab, check "Display in full-screen mode"
On the "Resolution" tab, check "Set the resolution of the screen", and select a resolution of 640x480 (for the sample applications, may be different if the main room of your game is bigger).
Close the settings, play the game.
Everything else should work as per usual.
When you close GM, the screen will return to the text command prompt - press Ctrl-Alt-F7 to get back to your normal desktop, or run 'xinit ./gamemaker.sh -- :2' again to run GM again.
This has been tested on all the sample games that will run under the Lite edition.
