Hi Brendan,
I'm happy to see your application here, I saw your name very often recently,
in Bug Days, Five a Day reports and various bug reports too.

Seems OK to me.

You forgot to mention the importance you suggest and why for the two bugs
above. I see that it's already set in the bug and seems to be obvious, but
we would like to see what's your opinion, what should the importance be and
why, to see that you really do understand what you have read on the wiki
from the Importance page.

You haven't specified the reason, why it should be Medium (it should be
Medium indeed, and I saw in the comments that you've discussed this with
hgddh2 on IRC, but other people can not decide where did you get this from)

You have specified the reasons why this should be Low in the comments, but
maybe that reasoning should also be part of this application.

I personally wouldn't have upstreamed this one, as this is a Unity issue,
Gnome Shell doesn't have this as Nautilus doesn't draw the desktop in GS.
Other than that, I agree with the Importance and the status.

Thank you for your application, I would like to see you in the Bug Control
Team, I think you would be a valuable member of the team.
