Thanks! :D

When I found the original svn merge and noticed the patches were labeled "useless crap" I lost my respect for that developer right then and there. Those features harmed nobody and some of us found them helpful. Arrogance.

Another example is TDE bug report 245 (http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=245). Most web browsers support these context menu options and even after many complained the menu never was restored. There are other KDE bug reports against that same change that got marked as duplicate reports. I found the code snippets for when the context menu was changed and made a note in our bugzilla. Perhaps we can restore that too.

Little things....

Oh well. Fixed! Let's be happy. Woo hoo! :)

Now if only I can find time to actually learn some C++ fundamentals....
