To apply this patch:

cd openverse    # Wherever you have a ready-to-be-hosed tree handy ;^)
patch -p1 < /path/to/my/openverse.patch.2

There.

I'll even explain the -p1.  It says to strip the first layer off the paths 
given in the patch.  The first line of my patch reads:

            ["from" file]                 ["to" file]
diff -ur openverse.old/OpenVerse.tcl openverse/OpenVerse.tcl

With -p1, it treats it as:

diff -ur OpenVeres.tcl OpenVerse.tcl

Which is what you want.

(The -u means that it's using Unified Diff format, which is easy to read, and 
the -r means recurse into subdirectories.  -r is necessary here because I 
patch a file in lib and panels.)

It's also very easy to read a diff/patch file to see what is being 
changed--MUCH easier than reading whole text files.

It's very little, actually.  Remember when you asked me to do these icons for 
you?  A YEAR ago?  I think it was about the same time I redid some of the 
icons for mp3tool.

...

This illustrates a big problem with the way you did the Pro panel.  Most of 
what I did should be duplicated to the text chat window.  But, as we all 
know, code duplication is a major pain.  This means we need to find a way for 
Pro to use--not duplicate--chtfuncs.tcl, or whatever it's called.  And to 
hide the Close button, hehehe.
