I sent off one of the messages from this forum to a friend who is an
active part of the Mozilla team (He also works for OEOne, the folks who
did the calendar for Mozilla).

Chris Blizzard just completed this patch and checked it in on Saturday,
November 15. It will now be part of the nightly trunk builds.

There's a lot of questions and buzz and mozilla, gtk2 and pango support
on the newsgroups. But I can't find a specific reference to anyone

I just email blizzard to ask him to shed some light on the subject. Will
pass along whatever I find out.
