That's a functionality I missed since I switched to xmonad, so thanks
a lot.  But I cannot apply the patch.  Darcs tells me:
I presume the jumping straight to full-screen is what you've missed?
Yes, and since I use 5 layouts which are all usefull in some scenarios
it's not always possible to guess in what layout I am.  Tiled, mirror
tiled, full and two-pane look similar for one window, and tiled and
two-pane look similar for two windows.  So you have to learn the
sequence of layouts in defaultLayouts and count from the first
distinguishable layout when switching.
Yeah, it's been a bit of a challenge for me with a similar number of
layouts.

Just out of curiosity, have you tried a simple combo/tabbed layout for your
two-pane? I find it much easier, as you can see what other windows are
available:

                   , simpleStacking $
                     combo (twoPane 0.03 0.5) [(full,1),(tabbed shrinkText defaultTConf,1)]

But my emacs says the file has unix-eols.  What's the culprit?
How did you save the patch from your email?
`o' (`gnus-mime-save-part') on the attachment.
Hmmm.  That sounds reasonable.

Most likely that's when it got corrupted.
Hm, that's the normal way I do it.  I tested it with another patch and
it worked.
All I can think is that maybe for some reason gnus corrupts patches only
occasionally (e.g. I've run into scenarios in the past where mailers
corrupted patches containing a "From" at the beginning of a line).  But
I've very little idea what could be the problem.  Maybe you could send the
file you saved to me as an attachment? (Or put it up to be downloaded?)
