The best thing to do is to search bugzilla with the keywords of
your bugs, and if you don't find any existing bugs, to create it.
If it's not a bug, it will be marked as invalid pretty quickly.
As if it is, it has a higher probability of getting fixed.

This doesn't appear to have a bug associated with it.

The contents of the image window and the status bar are now
customisable in the preferences. The %D format string gives you
the dirty flag. %D* will add a * to the title if the image is
dirty, %D@ will add a @. This is not very well documented at the 
moment... the format strings supported are in 
app/display/gimpdisplayshell-title.c

Perhaps... I suspect this is a window manager issue. In any case,
please open a bug against the gimp for this, and it'll get
redirected.

As of 1.3.22 there are two sets of preferences for the display -
full screen and normal. Please check that marching ants are on
for full screen mode.

Perhaps - could you add a comment to that bug with this image as
an attachment?

It's good to hear about bugs :) But the best place for them is
bugzilla.

Cheers,
