If it is as open-and-shut a case as all that, you should report a bug
asking for this. ;)

But of course, you should first check to see if we have an existing bug
for it (open or closed), and as it happens, we *do* already have one
here: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/53088

It was closed as Deferred, due to depending on gtk2 via exo, but it
looks like exo 0.11.3-1 from June should have fixed that. So, please
take a look and see if it works now, and if it does, then use the
"Request reopen" form on that bug.

This seems like a reasonable request, so no need to stand on ceremony
and gain community backing before you ask. :)
