Eek, I thought that was already done :/ 

<sigh> 

So, feature freezes suck that way. Acme should have gone in ages ago,
and so we'll have to live with the current sucky state another release,
or we'll end up with what happened with theme-manager in 2.2 (went in
last minute, is still the single crashiest app on my desktop.)

At least, that's my sense, and I'm sticking to it. We're doing short
release cycles for reasons, and this is one of them.

P.S. Hypothetically we're giving DrWright and c-c a pass on this, which
makes me very uncomfortable, but... I suppose it's my job to be
uncomfortable at this time of the cycle :)
