If you did not do the above, you should create a new directory with the patched wine in it and place it so that the wine and other Wine programs are not linked into /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin (many Linux distributions place both of these directories in the PATH environment variable.) If you did the above you should be able to run programs that are in the $HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files directory structure by issuing the command wine <program name> in the executible's directory. I have made the assumption that you know how to install both the patched and unpatched versions and how to link and unlink files from their symbolic links in /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin.
