Walter,

please see the file attached.

And no, I am not willing to do much more gymnastics for reporting bugs
in methods that ubuntu keeps continuously changing and where it takes
such hints to find out how to report a bug.

Within the last months, I've spent (wasted) several full workdays just
for analyzing and reporting ubuntu bugs, just to find most of them
ignored by ignorant maintainers who tend to close as invalid or mark as
non fixed even without understanding the bug or by simply not wanting to
fix the bug. Several of the bugs are not even bugs in the common sense
but have been intentionally invented by poor system design or could have
been prevented by regular work. Meanwhile I found several bugs - where
programs crashed and unity asked me to report them - beeing closed
automatically, because the "apport retracing service" says that I should
have updated the system before and discards the bug report, just because
it thinks that the packages are not the latest - although I just
upgraded the system five minutes ago. It's just that german ubuntu
mirrors lag behind. So I found myself beeing harassed just between two
different programs.

And if I had been asked to report bugs to launchpad, but cannot do it in
the way I had been asked and should read a long manual instead - I then
again feel my time wasted.

I hate to say, but besides making the desktop worse with every release,
ubuntu makes bug reporting more difficult (and even fruitless in most
cases).
