After trying various newer and newer packages of wine for my distro (Arch) I realized all of them worked... then I remembered that my 'standard' wine package which I was using all the while had patches for WC, including one which dealt with keyboard focus....

Not a waste of time.  However, this is why we recommend NOT using 
'hacks' as they can cause (and in your case did cause) problems.

If you need to use the hack, then I recommend putting your special build 
in a different place than a prebuild Wine (it installs in /usr or 
/usr/local).

And have a good time playing.  Let us know if you have any other 
problems with Wine.
