Ok, Harald Sitter was the author of the dash patch. He has commit access I 
think, so I'll ask him to commit it.

Coincidentally, Harald is also the author of this patch. I am CC'ing him; 
maybe he would want to fix the problem for real upstream rather than with this 
patch. :-) (Although I probably shouldn't volunteer people to do work I 
wouldn't want to do myself... eheh)
