If you would take a more positive approach to people who care enough to bring
some bug they noticed for days/weeks to the devs attention (in a sensible

community than devs reading bug reports to help the reporter gather more
information to improve the report. Even posting a link to some wiki with
examples of useful reports and a list of things to add/check would be more
useful than ignoring a report for weeks and it would prevent frustration on
both sides.

Brother, I feel your pain. After working earnestly filing hundreds of reports
and just watching them sit for days, weeks, months, and yes YEARS -- the
apparent message back to the community was: "Don't bother us by filing your
bugs, we are working on what we want to work on and if that doesn't include
the problem you are seeing -- too bad." It truly is a lose-lose where those
who are dedicated to seeing the desktop move forward are repeatedly kicked in
the teeth until they just lose interest and quit.
Just on a lark I checked the status of the bugs I had filed. There are still
41 open (including 8 wishes) in the bug tracking system. The overwhelming
majority of bugs were filed in 2009.....
