World of Warcraft: fixed?

I applied the two patches from bugzilla (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2814#c8) which includes Raphael's opengl32 fbconf patch and another one from Tim Savannah  which looks like this:

--- wine2/dlls/x11drv/opengl.c	2005-03-24 20:51:16.000000000 -0500
+++ wine/dlls/x11drv/opengl.c	2005-03-24 20:50:14.000000000 -0500
@@ -268,9 +268,8 @@

-    /* Should set error */
-    return 0;
+    ERR("Wrong pixel format, trying default. !\n");
+   iPixelFormat = physDev->used_visuals + 1;
   }

if (iPixelFormat == physDev->used_visuals + 1) {

I note two things when using these patches:
1) WoW works.  Game loads and runs again.
2) The login/character select screen will occasionally be extremely choppy/slow.  Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't, and there seems to be no direct cause from what I can tell since the traces are identical.  Once in the game it performs nicely from what I've seen, so it's really just a minor irritation.

Some, however, have reported that these two patches don't solve the problem.  As I am not one of those, I am unable to provide traces/details on this.  If I find any issues occurring regularly on my end, I'll send in the appropriate info so that you guys can take a look at it.

Thanks for the swift fixes!

The WoW patch has hit the European servers now, so I've had a chance to
try things out.  These patches work great for me - everything is running
as it should.

I've not noticed any choppiness in the character selection screen.  I've
noticed some choppiness turning in some places, but it doesn't feel like
a wine problem.

I'll second that :)

I've discovered that the choppiness I was experiencing can be fixed simply by giving focus to another window and then switching back to the game.  It's an even smaller issue than I thought!
