Luke: Just out of curiosity: What do you mean with "forcing the patch"?
I believe he means he manually edited the source code, instead of using the "patch" utility. Which should have no difference, the patch file works on 1.2RC7, I checked it myself.
He most likely did not restart the wineserver after applying the patch the first time, or it failed to patch and he ignored the error message (zshell for example requires you to use quotation marks around the URL for wget, and will error using the main pages tutorial).
