Comment 188 for bug 11334

Jackflap : As said previously, Canonical and Mark Shuttleworth are not in charge of xserver-xorg development. Ubuntu is a distribution. Canonical can contribute to bugfixes to upstream projects such as xserver-xorg, but drastic changes of concept needs to be done by the upstream projects themselves, by qualified developers.

If people start to pollute Ayatana discussions with this unrelated issue, there will be no benefit either for Ayatana and this bug report. Instead, invite every people who suffer from this bug to click the "Affect me too" button. That will give visibility to this bug to Canonical.

If this bug is not fixed yet, it's because it is not a easy bug, not because xserver-xorg or Canonical is not aware of this issue. However as long as you only refer to ubuntu bug report, xserver-xorg developers don't get any attention to this issue. And anyway, a bug report is not the right place to discuss, it only makes thing more difficult for developers as bug reports are polluted, therefore we should not be surprise that they stop using it, and work silently.

FUSA applet, notifications, simplescan, upstart are Canonical projects, not xserver-xorg.

FMaz : Linking a bug report can be done with two click, and launchpad has a good documentation. That only means that in 5 years, nobody took care to open and link a bug at xserver-xorg, users and developers.
