Copy and paste sometimes screws up patches.  Better to save the patch to a
file some other way.  In particular, I usually use wget.

For the patch you mentioned, one command to fetch the patch is
wget http://repo.or.cz/w/wine/hacks.git/patch/2daf55e8eeca89d5c2bb82381151277b6f9e70aa?hp=946767fae100f84c826157950b868908b6cc2464

http://marc.info/?l=wine-patches is another good place to search for
uncommitted patches;
that site does a good job of saving the patches as hyperlinks you can
use with wget.

See also http://kegel.com/academy/opensource.html
and http://kegel.com/wine/qa/ for a few tips.

Welcome aboard.  I hope you have more than 1 hour / week, it takes a
while to come up the learning curve.
