Sadly, I've found this to be the case more and more recently with bugs I
file with Ubuntu. I file bugs with complete full stack traces even and
all I get are "stab in the dark" "can you try this, or that, or the
other" guesses, if I get any response at all.

I've taken to skipping the filing of bugs at Launchpad and filing with
upstream -- for major packages such as gnome, evolution, mozilla, etc.
anyway. Not that responses upstream are any better.

It seems that everybody wants to work on the new, shiny, whizbang and
nobody wants to cleanup the mess the new, shiny, whizbang leaves in it's
trail.
