Display your IP address when you try to give support.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Would be great if I don't have to go to "WhatIsMyIp,com" every time :-). It can 
be easily automated so here is how...

Use case:
1. Click "Give Support"
2. A dialog would pop-up telling my Internet IP address.
3. I tell the address to the person needing support.

Please provide any additional information below.

You can gather yout Internet IP address with the following command on Linux:

wget -O - -q icanhazip.com

This is an "improvement request" rather than a "defect".

Actual python code:

import urllib
urllib.urlopen('http://icanhazip.com').read().strip()
--> '89.10x.1x8.xxx'
(x's replaced for privacy :-)

Provides your IP in a string. strip() removes some extra space that comes with 
it.

... That will provide your external IP address if you are behind a router, as 
provided by icanhazip.com.

Patch attached to include it in the status line...
