Instead of doing that, you may be better off moving the files to 
/local/main/finkinfo, as long as your Trees: line looks like this:

Trees: local/main stable/main stable/crypto

Fink will look in local first if local/main is in front.

Do an 'ls /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/finkinfo/x11-wm/' to verify that you have 
the right .info and patch files.
