FYI: A lot was cleaned up in the 2.16 version: http://www.gnome.org/start/2.16/notes/en/rnusability.html It has 3 parts / states. One collects information and when it is done it switches to the 2nd part. That one asks for a description + email address (shown in above URL). Click Send and you will be taken to the 3rd part; with a link to the bugreport. > Why not just be careful that the scripts don't collect potentially > personal info, and ensure users can review the info before sending. > Maybe there's a checkbox to turn off ever sending the extra info, but I > wouldn't make it a required clickthrough, just a checkbox you can check > if you're looking for it. Current bug-buddy has a 'show details' for that. -- Regards, Olav _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
