Just rapid-fire; I'm pretty sure Paul is aware of which patches I'd view as
'enhancements' rather than 'tester critical'. :-)

It's a 'feature' patch, not a build-related or critical bug fix patch. I
would generally only include patches to fix problems that make GARNOME or
its contents untestable (such as Evo build fixes, major crashers in the
panel, etc).

You can always add this patch yourself. It's easy! :-)

The people who know they'll need GARNOME's mozilla can easily uncomment it
in the Epiphany or Galeon garballs, or just build misc/mozilla themselves
(so they don't even have to fart around with the makefiles).
