Actually I have had made a similar patch, which fixes all end game messages.
But my patch, as well as yours, has one problem. It shows the F10 messages,
but not the popup requests, in all cases.

The popup request for
 "Game ended in victory for %s"
is *not* shown, but the popup for
"Game: The game is over..."
*is* shown.

I don't know why.

I think we should sort all messeges into a dozen or so events (message
groups). If this is done cleverly, I hope it will be easier to select the
wanted and deselect the unwanted messages.

Or do people think it is good to handle each message seperately? You are
tending to overlook some of the options.
