I stand corrected. I actually checked the client before I wrote the
above, but I didn't see the option.

<Opens Galaxy again, searches more diligently>

Ah, there it is. Click the "gear" icon in upper left corner, click
"add games & friends" on the menu that pops up, and it's one of the
options ("Redeedm GOG code") on the sub-menu. Why, it's perfectly
obvious once you know exactly where to look! ;-)

(But it is not like any of the other competing clients really make it
any easier. Its almost like they don't WANT you to add games you
purchased through another service, but would prefer you do all your
shopping through their storefront. Weird, that. ;-P )
