I have searched for this problem and found two threads here with identical problems but no solution. My question is, are there any solutions for this as of yet?

I hope this was specific enough. I'd love to play GWX.
I had the same problem. I was never able to get it to work if I put the resolution in the cfg file. However, I am able to play if I change my widescreen monitor to any 4:3 resolution - in my case, 1600 x 1200 and it is fat dumb and happy. Now I'm merrily running my first ever SH3 campaign with GWX installed.

Hope that helps...
