Can you please open a bug report for it in the freedesktop bug tracker
and put me into CC? I'll check what is necessary and might make it an
easy hack or see if cherry-picking the AOO change is easily possible.

Sounds good. Please add for these two also enhancement requests in
bugzilla so that they are not lost and link them to the other bug
report. They both sound like possible easy hacks and I can see if I
can add code pointers and make them easy hacks.

Thanks a lot for your great work. It is very much appreciated and I'm
sorry that you did not get a response earlier.
