Why was the bug set against Nautilus? What was actually used? Yet you
confirmed, but did not provide any of these.

More sensible approach. The only comment is that you should provide the
OP with the command to use to start FFox with a clean profile.

No real triage work, but correct response to a bug/description that
tells us nothing.

Same as above.

OK, you can confirm it. Now, what is the package again? It is not
update-manager that asks for the user's passphrase to gain root
privileges! Hint: looking at the synaptic entry in the menu (using
'alacarte') we will find that 'gksu' is called. Now, using 'dlocate' I
find that '/usr/bin/gksu' is in the package 'gksu'. 

This is the package the bug has to report against.

In general, I cannot see much triage work -- most of the bugs are still
in the early stages of triaging, and one is confirmed against the wrong
package.

On the other hand, the suggested Importances sound correct (even the
'gksu' one: although not a critical issue, it bothers the hell out of
the user).

As such, I consider too early to give you a positive vote. Please keep
on triaging for a bit longer, then reapply with 5 nice bugs, that
really show your undertanding of triage.

-1.

p.s. BTW -- thank you for helping; hopefully I will be able to give you
a +1 next try.
