Congrats. Patches of this kind would even be more appropriate on the 
tilesathome mailing list, so no need to come here for that patch :-)

Do talk to Dirk-Lüder "Deelkar" Kreie, he comes closest to a tah client 
owner, even if he sometimes denies this :-)

I haven't looked at the patch closely, but it looks generally OK TO ME 
AND if deelkar agrees, then commit it. To make sure it's not lost, do 
get a SVN account and commit it yourself :-).
