If I am not committing bug fix to a piece of software you filed a bug against, I therefore must not understand at all how any of the said software works. Brilliant logic.

The fact is that this bug is affecting software at a level *lower* than either the application or toolkit layer, hence somewhere in the font rendering or X stack. This is evidenced by the fact that it affects applications, regardless of which GUI toolkit they use. Therefore, it is a quite reasonable deduction that the problem does not lie with the application or the toolkit libraries, and that the best act of triage would be to file a bug against the graphics driver, and close the bugs against the other packages. If reasonable evidence is found that it is any of the individual application's faults, (which there won't be, by the way) one could always re-open the task against the software and close the task against the driver tasks.
