Bruce,

Yes, that is the general rule, except if a newer bug has made more
progress or documented the issue more thoroughly. In my duplicate there
is feedback from a GTK theme engine developer, and patches attached to
fix half of the cases in this bug - they need to be seen more than this
bare report.

For example, from Mozilla's duplicate process at
http://www.mozilla.org/quality/help/screening-duplicates.html - "Other
things being equal, newer bugs should be made DUPLICATES of older bugs,
but, more importantly, whichever bug is further along in the process of
getting fixed should not be made a duplicate."

Otherwise do I have to attach my patches and test cases here again,
duplicating effort?
