Aleksey, List, Hope everyone is relaxing, enjoying and not reading the list... if you are... might be the right time to wake up from the excesses of Christmas celebrations :-)
Looks like everyone forgot about these patches of mine. I've now posted them as http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1636 -- the patches haven't changed but the "r?" might draw some attention. My old post below is still very relevant, and my notes after it, plus a request for help.

If your email proggy doesn't do threads nicely, see http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2009-November/thread.html#20729 These patches fix the problem in the core code. There are two UI glitches, and I am needing help in sorting them out, 'cause I don't understand the OO-ish approach used in Journal UI.
