Hi "Ttestt"

In the attached archive I've found a project file, sample data and
modified QgsLabel class. This is not really developer friendly format.
To make a proper patch, I would suggest you to use 'svn diff' command
to create a patch file that contains only the changes (and not the
whole files). Then create a new ticket in QGIS Trac and attach the
patch. Like that, the proposed changes will not get lost in mailing
list archive and someone will be able review the changes and possibly
apply them to the repository.

>From a very brief look I see you haven't done any changes to GUI, so
how would people enable/disable the functionality?

Please proceed with creation of a ticket in Trac. The following is an
example of a patch contributed by community and later applied to qgis
sources:
http://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/ticket/1478
