The process is the same as always; use the patch utility. It will be a
standard util on Debian.
cd to your source directory: i.e. % cd
/usr/local/src/gnome-system-monitor-2.8.1-4
cp the diff file to the same directory; i.e.
% cp /location/to/diff/file/gnome-system-monitor-2.8.1-4.diff.gz .
gunzip the diff: i.e.
% gunzip gnome-system-monitor-2.8.1-4.diff.gz
apply the diff: i.e.
% patch -p1 < gnome-system-monitor-2.8.1-4.diff
Done.
There are different levels of patching (-p1,-p2 ..) but -p1 is what you
will want almost all the time.

Hi,
I want to compile stock gnome-system-monitor-2.8.1-2 with a patch
gnome-system-monitor-2.8.1-4.diff.gz applied.
How do I do that? What do I need, more than a compiling
gnome-system-monitor-2.8.1-2 and the
gnome-system-monitor-2.8.1-4.diff.gz?
Is there a Debian way of doing things, so that I end up with a
gnome-system-monitor-2.8.1-4_amd64.deb package that I can install?
