Hi zvaral

First of all thank you for reporting this bug.

I saw that the two reports were about the same bug and made the decision to mark them duplicates this way around for purely practical reasons:
afaik a bug which has duplicates can not be made a duplicate itself without unduping all those duplicates. bug 546578 already had 4 duplicates.
bug 546578 had the upstream link (and as far as I can see those bug header entries are not inherited from duplicates)
bug 546578 already had a header entry for xorg-server which has been suggested as the culprit in the upstream comments (the bug shows on both ati and intel)
it also had an even higher affects count
it had the workaround in the bug description before bug 529882
So all in all this seemed to be the better (more convenient, more useful) way to mark them duplicates.

Best regards
Wolfgang Kufner
