While the idea is sound, I wish you'd at least try to compile the patch
before submitting it.  Here's the output from compiling:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I../intl -I/usr/include/libxml2 -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 
-I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/freetype2

Once it compiles, I shall be happy to test it.
