I'm disappointed that Myth doesn't make me coffee and bacon in the
morning, but nobody has written the code for that, either.

I (and others) would surely welcome such a patch, but given the
numerous hours I know one particular dev who knows MythUI backwards
and forward has spent on this particular issue, I know for a fact that
it's not as simple as that...

Nobody is "not including" their patches, this stuff is *hard*.
