While I'm not saying this is a solution, Dzonatas mentioned some sort of
community viewer some time ago. Maybe submit patches there? 

I'm not aware of the current status of that though, as I'm rather
outside of the general patching process. But the idea in general seems
good to me.

With the recent grid changes, and since the source is released under the
GPL2, nothing is stopping people from having their own fork of the SL
viewer. If LL is too slow accepting patches, make a fork that deals with
them better.

A fork did a lot of good for X (XFree forked as Xorg I mean). Could do
some good for SL too.
