The patch I just sent has both select and depends. I will play with this
some more but there appears to be a subtle difference in the effect only
when selecting and deselecting the option on which the other option is
dependent. It's not a big deal if that doesn't work perfectly. So the
bottom line is I can reissue another patch without this or you can fix
this. Let me know.
