Description
Hello,
I'd be grand to be able to set a few parent terms in a vocab, and then if a node has a child-term selected, the menu trail could form based on that path.
For instance, say your taxonomy hierarchy was:
Tech
-Computers
-Audio Players
-Etc
Print
-Books
-Magazines
-Etc Etc
You could set where Tech and Print belong in the menu, and a node that uses the Audio Player term would appear under Tech's menu trail.

Patch attached. This also includes the fix in #547634: Bug in parent assignment via taxonomy term causes parent assignment via node type to fail
#4
Patch doesn't seem to work for deeper hierarchies:
For such a hierarchy
Life
--Animals
----Mammal
------Cat
------Dog
----Fish
------Piranha
------Goldfish
----Bird
------Eagle
------Sparrow
and having set in the Menu Trails configuration>Categories:Life
Parent item for Animals>none
Parent item for Mammal>Animals
Parent item for Cat>none
when I am visiting a node tagged as Cat, only Animals is active and not Mammal also as it should. The breadcrumbs also shows:
Home › Animals ›

Tri: thanks for the review! It sounds like the patch is working as intended; the breadcrumbs represent your menu hierarchy, rather than the taxonomy.
Perhaps the http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_breadcrumb module will help with your problem.
