PS: For next GUADEC we should force Jeff to increase the post count kept on planet.gnome.org or people miss posts due to the high volume :) Just for reference: the biggest problem with the tracker thing was that bug-buddy filed it under deskbar-applet product, so something had to be touched to get it away from open bugs of deskbar-applet, so might as well dup it in one step instead of fixing the product to tracker with two steps (the selection of tracker component where to put it after changing product).

They get *tons* of duplicate reports from Ubuntu users all the time, because Ubuntu don't seem interested in patching their package. Even though perfectly simple fixes are available from SVN and I even went to the trouble of signing up for a Launchpad account and filing an Ubuntu bug - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gimmie/+bug/114534 - to try and draw their attention to it. Sigh. Where do http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=421732 and http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=421620 rank?

Your "job" is to help them, not nag them. If keeping up with tracker or deskbar bugs is annoying you, then simply ignore these products.
