Huh !? 1.1.3-* doesn't include your patch, nor upstream's. It will come in 1.1.4-1, which is expected in some days. > Obviously upstream is free to accept and integrate submitted __tested__ > patches.

You haven't tested the version including the patch (might it be yours or upstream's) for your problem, so please check your facts before fingerpointing people. > The submitted and __tested__ patch earlier in the list has been floating > around for months now, > without having been integrated and the users being without this required > functionality.

And be assured that I feel insulted and this doesn't make me willingful to include your patch. This bug will get closed with 1.1.4-1, you will be offered to re-open it if it doesn't fix it for you.
