In case anyone is wondering, I merged and started testing this on Friday. I'm
working with Liming to hunt down a mouse grab/cusor and keyboard issue that I'm
seeing. But other than that, everything worked nicely. If I can't
resolve the two
minor items quickly, I'll send the queue anyway and more eyes can be put on
the problem.

Cheers,

Bruce
