NB: Most of the ones you (addressing William here) are filing at the moment _are_ hard ones, so don't start thinking they aren't worth dealing with. The exceptions, if there are exceptions, are only the odd little ones that get fixed in the course of talking about them. I say this just because I want to stress that this current stream of bug reports is excellent work, the sort that it's really hard to get with an open-source project because so few people feel they have an incentive to actually identify and describe bugs rather than simply ignoring them or avoiding the software that contains them. (In a "proper" company, of course, you have testers paid to do that.) For most projects, the open-source slogan of "many eyes making all bugs shallow" (or whatever it is) is just a myth -- it's only true where your target audience of users also has a significant capability to fix bugs in the code, which is one reason why open-source developer tools find it easy to succeed and open-source desktop software finds it hard.
