Sorry Igor.  One must always submit a patch in order to post to 
this email list.  Please reformulate all your email (retroactively)
to be posts in the form of a patch.  Chris, is there any way to 
block posts to this list that aren't patches?  Oops!  My email isn't
a patch either! ;-) ;-) ;-)

Seriously, no one expects all comments, suggestions, or requests to come
with patches (at least not on this list ;-) )  I hope no one really has 
that impression.  Generally, I think responses that suggest submitting a 
patch are meant to indicate to the original poster that the request or 
comment would see more immediate fruition if a patch is included.  Sometimes
folks expect there's an idle group of developers just hanging around waiting
to jump on the next request from the list.  Even if the current audience 
doesn't have that perception, making a clear statement that someone who may
later search the archives can find is often helpful.  So please don't be 
offended by any response suggesting a patch... unless it makes you want to 
submit one! ;-)

Larry

Adding keyboard shortcuts to the package selection screen (i.e., <Tab>bing
to the Action column and the checkboxes) would do it as well, I suppose.
