Well, the steps in the bug I posted were something that even I could follow.

In truth though I neglected to read the log of the bug you posted and
thought "One way to do this would be to use javascript to doctor the
location after the page has loaded" were the only steps suggested in
the bug. Apologies for not reading it more thoroughly.

Instead consider my mail support for doing what you are already doing
and a plea for more projects to do this :-)

Thanks,

James
