Do that, this will give you good karma and you can always tell people
flaming you for an occasional RTFM that you went out of your way to
fix stuff you do not even use just to help others...  How can they
still flame you after that? ;-)

Please really do it, judging by what I know about you it will probably
just take you a few hours or less and a lot of people would greatly
benefit.  Have you patched XFree already?  Isn't this a badge of honor
for every graphics programmer?
