gtkhtml, GAL, evolution-data-server, evolution-sharp. Maybe Connector too? Not sure what the state of that product is. > * Dependencies. Some bugs depend on bugs in other products.

If they have been marked duplicate against something not in the list above (say, Ximian Desktop 2) we might as well just drop them completely, IMHO. > * Priority vs severity.
