Issues with the serviceextifo icon usage - not working

[Albert Whale]

I have the following definition on Nagios-2.0b3 in serviceextinfo.cfg.

     define serviceextinfo {
       service_description  Cisco_Memory
       hostgroup       CiscoEquipment
       notes_url       
/nagiosgraph/show.cgi?host=$HOSTNAME$&service=$SERVICEDESC$
       icon_image      graph.gif
       icon_image_alt  View graphs
     }

What I planned on happening was that the graph.gif icon would launch the 
notes_url.  This does not happen.  In my investigation on the issue, I 
encountered the following as a potential reference to resolving the problem:

 This problem exists in 2.0b2 as well: This patch for cgi/status.c should
 correct it. You can probably remove the /*FOOBAR*/ comment.
 
 I am making the assumption that the serviceextifo icon should actually take you there
instead of to the service description. If I"m wrong then disregard this email.

As this was reported in Nagios-2.0b1 and is still in Nagios-2.0b3 (and I 
have not seen an update in the Changes Log for nagios-2.0b4), I was 
hoping to hear that this would make it into the CVS as a resolution to 
the problem, since it is still occurring 6+ months later (still better 
than some software companies though).
