AmphetaDesk Patch

If you happen to be using AmhetaDesk from CVS and run into an odd error about something not being an ARRAY reference in Channels.pm, apply this patch:

It fixed it for me. Patch is on its way to the AmphetaDesk hackers, too.

Yeay for Open Source.

Update: Morbus Iff (the creator of AmphetaDesk) tells me that it's already fixed in CVS. Woohoo!
