Hello Simon,

Using the desktop version (gnome) I see reportbug-gtk not installed by
default. Perhaps I am confused why reportbug-gtk is not installed when
using/installing the desktop version (gnome).

I agree using reportbug is more sever related; but on first entry I see
some confusion when using the desktop version (gnome) that the GTK version
is not included by default.

Quote me if I am wrong: reportbug should only be installed on sever,
reportbug-gtk should be installed using a DE environment by default.

Thank You!
