A way simple to apply the patch is:

1) open the file ftools_utils.py with your text editor
(<installation_directory_qgis>/python/plugins/fTools/tools/) ;

2) looks at the function "def getGeomType(gT)" and change it as follows

def getGeomType(gT):
  if gT == 3 or gT == 6:
    gTypeListPoly = [ QGis.WKBPolygon, QGis.WKBMultiPolygon ]
    return gTypeListPoly
  elif gT == 2 or gT == 5:
    gTypeListLine = [ QGis.WKBLineString, QGis.WKBMultiLineString ]
    return gTypeListLine
  elif gT == 1 or gT == 4:
    gTypeListPoint = [ QGis.WKBPoint, QGis.WKBMultiPoint ]
    return gTypeListPoint

3) restarting qgis


Hope this helps!

Regards,

-SL
