Comment 28 for bug 93413

I'm attaching above-mentioned patch for someone with greater knowledge than me to test.

The patch is completely untested as I currently have no idea about building and packaging in Ubuntu. I'm sure I'll get up to speed eventually, but in the meantime if someone else is able to apply the patch and make any required changes to get it working then it can be tested, rather than waiting for me to learn what I need to learn to test it myself.
