Comment 68 for bug 328575

For some sense that seems to be true, I often find out that reporting bugs upstream is better.

Yet, this also usually doesn't help, bugs just remain in bugzilla, and nobody fixes them.

Thus the only way to fix the bugs is just grok the code, and fix them up myself.
(No matter how hard that is)

This bug is an exception, as the 'real' fix for it might involve some big changes in way root applications are handled

There is nothing wrong with the above, linux just has few users and developers, and I feel that majority of linux users, just use it because they have to for one or another reason, and will thus use it as little as possible (eg run in VM, try cygwin, bring own laptop with windows, as a backup, etc...)

This is sad.
