over the years, including XFCE-related ones."<br><br>Thank you for filing those bugs! I have also filed bugs and have seen pretty good response (especially compared with commercial software vendors). I believe a lot depends on the bug, the severity of it, and also who maintains the package and where the issue will ultimately get fixed.<br><br>I very much appreciate the <b>volunteer </b>efforts of the Xubuntu team.

In some cases it's too much effort and the bug isn't that painful, so we just want someone else to do the job. Let's be grateful to those volunteers who care enough to do the job for us.
