RT setting of allowed home page components partially ignored

I was trying to modify the RT config setting $HomepageComponents to
remove the QuickCreate option, but it wasn’t working. Looking at the
Elements/MyRT code, I see a comment that seems to explain why:

66 # XXX: we don’t use this, but should.
67 my %allowed_components = map {$_ => 1} @{RT->Config->Get(‘HomepageComponents’)};

I copied this to my local dir to test out a modification to make this
work, see attached patch. It seems to work for me, but maybe you had
another idea on how to fix this? I checked 3.8.6rc1 and this hasn’t
been fixed yet.

Jason,

Thanks for the patch. I’ve bounced this into RT for us to have a look at
as part of RT 3.8.7.

Best,
