This has little bearing on the current discussion, but did you ever try
just pressing Ctrl-C while in the dialog box? On Win2k/XP this should
copy the contents of that dialog box (title bar, buttons, and all) to the
clipboard (as text). I guess what I'm saying is that the patch above will
do in a pinch, until we have the time to do it "the right way" (tm). :-)
