I'm not sure whether [email protected] is the best place for this sort of thing: it receives all the BTS noise from every GNOME package, so I suspect a lot of GNOME maintainers subscribe to the individual packages they're interested in instead. debian-gtk-gnome exists and is lower-traffic - is the split perhaps like pkg-games-devel / debian-devel-games, where all BTS noise goes to the former but discussion is normally on the latter? (But the more central GNOME people would know better.) >> Niels wrote: >>> * #775877 - gnome-session: No mouse pointer after login >> >> I cannot reproduce this, but I've found a bug that seems like a >> plausible reason for the crash reported by the bug submitter, and had a >> 2-line patch accepted upstream. > > This one: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=298916&action=diff ?

I think that tag was left over from asking the submitter of one of the other merged bugs for moreinfo.

Either that or rolling back to llvm-3.4, <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=775235#15>. Bernhard Übelacker has successfully tested both ways.
