If you have time and the knowledge, I would recommend to try to do your fix and submit it as a patch that, without compromiising the original functionality, improves it, for example adding an option to the power menu. Then it will be probably easier to have your request satisfied. In the worst case i can assure you that you'll have at least one user (me =) for the patch. -- Cheers, Igor Igor Stoppa <igor.stoppa at nokia.com> (Nokia M - OSSO /Helsinki Finland)
