The problem itself really is a minor one, though I could not find a simple, 
suitable way to accomplish it.
Its the following part of the patch:

	@@ -716,6 +732,18 @@
	     else
	         xbox = NULL;
	
	+    //FIXME
	+    // we need to check, if the machine running the frontand is the server, 	
too,	
	+    // so we cannot simply shutdown, but just detach from it.
	+    // The server is responsible for its shutdown
	+
	+    clientIsServerHost = (true);

clientIsServerHost is used to determine, if backendhost == frontendhost, 
because if it is, you are not allowed to call 'Shutdown' from the frontend, 
since the backend/scheduler is responsible for the shutdown then.

So one must find out, if the current frontendhost is a backendhost, too, thats 
all.

I (still) really would like to see this in cvs, so if there is anything else 
that needs to be done, tell me. I want to keep my hands on the patch and I 
want to improve it further if it would be in cvs, but due to its size, its 
already quite hard to maintain it off cvs now.

take care, have fun
