Timotheus, thank you very much for adding to the list of useful documented pieces of Kolab!  I've even added a link to your page from my own wiki page on multi-hosted kolab options.  For reference you can view it if you wish here : http://bmts.us/wiki/doku.php?id=article:kolab:multidomain

I believe that patch will work safely for Roundcube and at one point I had configured something very similar but I think it will break the Activesync login.  I'm not sure if you're using that or not so it may not matter for your setup.  The kolab activesync uses the same kolab_auth.inc.php file for authentication information but it doesn't work exactly the same and I don't believe it has the $user variable available.  I haven't researched other options with it yet as I'm testing some other things with Kolab for a few weeks or more but looking at how the kolab activesync code gets and handles the username might help you find a way to implement a similar change to parse the username for the domain information.

Again, thanks for your documentation and scripts! They're quite nice and maybe something like a setup-kolab-multidomain script should be part of Kolab itself. (hint hint)
