Sure I have.
Trillian starts correctly with the patch, as well as under Windows. 
Also googling indicated that Windows does not change those variables. 
I don't have an URL ready, sorry.  That's *some* evidence, although
it's not exactly fool-proof.

OTOH, there's absolutely no evidence that it's wrong.

So so far it does seem to be right / correct, as far as I can see.

I realize that you're criticizing my approach and not the patch.  I'd
like to produce a test case to be 100% sure and show you that it's
correct - but I'll need some pointers or URLs/google keywords to code
examples.  If you can help, please do..
