For the record, if this is ONLY 10 or so lines of code, I see no reason why other people can't add support for this into the current hildon-desktop packages.

Has anyone done that? I don't mind figuring out how to properly use git and see if I can adapt this to the current version of HD code and figure out how to do all the git merge request voodoo - if no one else is doing it...? (Kinda hoping someone else is so I don't feel obligated to do it, since there's so many other things I want to do relating to programming+N900...)
