Thanks to D Bera and Daniel Drake for your help.  I now know how to produce the patch and upload it properly to Bugzilla.  Sorry about being such a n00b.

Just a minor thing, these patches can't be applied since my local copy doesn't 
include a "BestWindow-ds1.cs". You should copy BestWindow.cs to 
BestWindow.cs.orig and then make your changes to BestWindow.cs, then produce a 
diff with "diff -u BestWindow.cs{.orig,}" (this method also makes it easier to 
test your changes).

Another option, if you are using CVS, just make your changes to the original 
file and generate a diff with "cvs diff".

Also, we prefer that patches are posted to bugzilla 
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org) as they are harder to lose there.
