While it is true that there exists a spectrum with bugfixes at one end and 
feature additions at the other with all patches falling somewhere inbetween 
(this also depends on severity of bug, addition/changing of strings etc.), in 
this case I think it's enough of a feature addition to be disallowed. At the 
moment we're in 'Soft Freeze' which, as far as  can tell means that you can 
add new features but only if they were already scheduled (i.e. added to the 
4.1 feature page on techbase [1]) which as far as I can tell, this wasn't.

This is not a critical feature and while these deadlines can seem unnecessary 
and trivial since your patch isn't going to be detrimental in any way I try 
to be strict when it comes to kdegames.

At least this way, you've already got a new feature to add to the KDE 4.2 
version :)
