Thanks Eben, found it. Added my none too chuffed comment – sorry –  
really looks quite the ugly hack, and on the first screen anyone will  
see from Sugar. Also doesn't help that the default input focus has now  
crawled it's way onto the ring view icon (now has that nasty white box  
outline around the circle), but that's the least of your worries.
