Well, I wanted the feature, I use the gtk client only and there
were functions in gtk to do it easily - so I did it...
That's the way open source goes You know -
add it if You want/need it... :)

Making the client GUI-independant is not _all_ good...
I think it's worth it in the long run so please go ahead if
You feel like it but when You're writing a GUI using something
like gtk there are ways to do a lot of things that are more "right" -
that fits better into the model...

Ah, well...
rant, rant...
