Ok, I found it - until now the View menu wasn't of much use to me. Using 
the keyboard shortcut the zoom to selection function is quite useful, 
bit IMHO my patch is still not useless as it significantly improves 
access to this function for mouse only users (or should I say 
"non-power-users"?). Additionally the patch allows to zoom not to the 
complete selection but to one or more entries from the selection list.

As my "zoom to" implementation differs a bit from the "official 
implementation" I may rewrite the patch so that it uses the official 
method where applicable or at least behaves similarly. Would that be an 
option?
