I think that filing a bug against, say gnome-terminal when the actual
cause of the bug is GTK, is not a "misfiling", because our UI describes
bugs as "affecting" projects, not "in" projects.  A bug in GTK can
affect gnome-terminal, and the developers of gnome-terminal may have
several options for fixing the bug:
- - contribute a fix to GTK
- - work around the bug in gnome-terminal

I do agree that the application bug reports will often bear little
resemblance to the cause in the library, causing dupes.
