I totally agree with Kurt. This is an excellent proposal
and I'd love to have it in CVS. I experienced the same
restrictions about magic_mouths and always wanted to have
that improved.

Before putting it on CVS though, I believe it would be
very good if the patch was tested. One thing I wonder
for example: Kurt you said this works for buttons connected
to a magic_mouth, but does it also work for inventory-checkers
and pedestals? It would be wonderful if it worked for
all of this, not only buttons.

It sounded like you already tested the patch on your
server? If it ran bug-free there I would be pretty
confident about putting in on CVS soon, assumed nobody
else on the list has objections.

      Solution exists already.  Set the attributes on the button

      on a walk_off. Or visa-versa.
