The mergeUsers Extensions will install a html/Admin/Users/Modify.html into 
the local or shared directory (I dont know which), but you should not use 
it because it is buggy. Instead you should use the 
html/Admin/Users/Modify.html from the original RT installation an patch it 
(before 3.6.5) or leave it as it is (>= 3.6.5, as the patch had been 
applied in the distribution).

With this Modify.html a callback will be enabled that allows to add some 
widget to the Admin/Users/Modify.html page.

Hence you only need to supply such a callback. The callback I had attached 
to the mail with my patch will enable the mergeUser functionality that were 
originally enabled by the Modify.html page supplied with mergeUsers.

To supply the callback just create the directory 
/path/to/rt/local/html/Callbacks/MergeUsers/Admin/Users/Modify.html/ and 
copy the file LeftColumnBottom from my mail in this directory.

After restarting apache and clearing mason cache, MergeUsers should be 
functional.

Dirk
