Kinda dumb to have to add users just to get a different resolution.
That, and the irritation of getting X auth to cross users... all in
all, this sounds like a reasonable solution to the problem.

And besides, what legitimate objection do you have?  If you don't use
the option, the behavior is presumably identical to what it is today.

FWIW, this is something I accomplish by cd'ing into a directory with a
custom mysql.txt, but I also needed to change the code not to whack
the theme cache.  I already maintain too many of my own patches to fix
minor problems with Myth; it'd be nice to see at least some of them
make their way into CVS.

Cheers,
Kyle
