Veewee 0.1.16: ‘we tried to create a box or a box was here before but now it’s gone’

A few days ago I ran into a strange error using Veewee 0.1.16 on Mac OSX 10.6.7. Due to this error I couldn’t create a single basebox. No matter what I did. However thanks to @patrickdebois’ speedy support it was easily fixed.

For those who can’t wait for the fix to enter upstream I’ve included the patch below.
And also a direct link veewee_shell_osx10.6.7.patch, if you have trouble copy/pasting it.
