Just to provide some examples, here are the bugzilla entries for a 
package that didn't  even start up 
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=591213), and another one 
for a package that crashed on a first elementary operation
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=454045)
FYI, I fixed the latter, and the former is still there in Fedora 14.

Hopefully AutoQA will solve many of those problems, if we can come up 
with test cases and a method to check elementary GUI operation.
