Well if this is really that important for bigger sites then why not just 
have a seperate patch against GNOME that somehow works now and can be 
integrated into cvs later, say in 2.3? Big sites should be able to patch 
recompiled GNOME without to much problems...

This way some can have it real soon, and we get a maturer implementation 
at the end.
