How is the issue covered by this bugreport different from that covered by bug#1001634? I mean, it seems to me that you are describing exactly the same issue, and then proposing a concrete solution to that issue. If you agree, then I will merge those bugreports. If not, then please elaborate what distinguishes the underlying issue you are reporting here.
