I stopped filing bug reports for most projects a long time ago, about
the time I got 20 accounts on different projects that became too many.
These days, I only file bugs directly to Gnome and mostly to my main
distribution, Arch Linux. I am just a reviewer, not a user that will
use FC all the time, so I don't feel the need to take the time and
file bugs.
Sort of reasonable but short of what I would expect from a technical
user and one who was taken enough time to actually review the release.
Anyway would you atleast list them, so I can see if I can reproduce and
then file bug reports on it myself?

It didn't work for me on FC4.
Ok.

I might actually just file this one, because if Red Hat fixes it, it
is a good chance that then my main distro will get a fix too, as my
distro's maintainers are not kernel guys.

It is a small warning window exactly when opening some gnome prefs.
That window stays open for less than half a second. Then, it closes
all by itself. It's a bit unprofessional imho.

Except the fact that there is a huge disoverabilty issue about this
(two FC5 reviews so far, two reviewers didn't find it), I find this
menu editor very bare bones. For example, what I wanted to do was to
make Ekiga's name smaller in the menus, because it was too long. The
current menu editor doesn't let me do that.
Yeah.Atleast you can use that GNOME bugzilla account of yours now ;-)

I see. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.
There has been various discussions about it. Might be a tricky issue.

Yes, in the very futuristic future. I am waiting for a good Linux
*home* video editor since 2002. ;)
Of course. If you find anything mature enough to be included in the
distributions, let us know and we will take a good look at it.
