There's no error from the applet. There's nothing worth taking a screen
shot. It applet just simply doesn't change the frequency. If you need
more information, how about asking "Could you post the output of the
______ file after trying to switch the frequency?" or some other
question that helps get the bug diagnosed instead of blaming the
reporter. It's insulting to keep saying the bug report is poor when I
already explained why it is not.

The devs at launchpad seem to fling around "closing this bug report
because it lacks the information" even when the "lacks information part"
is false. This policy alienates reporters. Instead of blaming bug
reporters by saying the bug report is poor, the close message should be,
"We are closing the bug because we have too few people and too many open
bugs." That's still a bad policy but at least it's truthful and doesn't
run the risk of false accusing someone of poor submissions.

A few points:
1) Bugs do not rot. If it's policy to close them early, it's a bad one.
2) Even a poorly reported bug can evolve into a good submission with time.
3) Users will provide missing information if you ask.
4) They will be offended if you call their submissions poor.
5) They will be really offended if the submission is not poor but people keep 
saying so like Chatty-Kathy dolls.
6) Bug reporters might end up quitting their submissions.
