[Urwid] Metaclass error

[Ian Ward]

The patch has file names like a/urwid/monitored_list.py, so you should 
be able to apply it from the directory containing the "urwid" directory 
with a command like:

patch -p1 < patchfile

-p1 removes one level of the file path, so patch will look for 
urwid/monitored_list.py to patch starting from the current directory.
