Hrrmm.. not particularly - tho it was recently switched from XFree86 to
X.org - it didn't exhibit itself until I upgraded sylpheed from a 1.x
to a 2.x version, however it could have been another library upgraded
at the same time.

"important
    a bug which has a major effect on the usability of a package,
    without rendering it completely unusable to everyone."

The bug has/(had ... see on) a major impact on usability (namely the
ability to act efficiently as an MUA) - when one receives heaps of
spam, individually selecting non-contiguous blocks of emails is a major
PITA. Selecting whole blocks and then individually toggling entries is
a lot less time consuming. Sylpheed looks after a gig or two of email
for me - so this is important. It did not, however, render the package
unusable. Therefore I chose important. I guess what constitutes "major
effect" is dependant on the functionality used by the bug reporter and
given your experience with a wider user base, your assessment differs
from mine.

Basically - I *did* RTFM :) , but perhaps I interpreted things
differently to yourself.

Having said that it seems it may be in an interaction between the
sylpheed application and something related to the X environment (as I'm
running sylpheed over an SSH forwarded X connection on a machine that
was exhibiting the problem also, and has been upgraded (packages +
kernel + mobo) last night, and it does not appear to have the fault
now).

I will try to reproduce the bug again wholly on the machine with the
executable (which was also showing the bug - it wasn't just a forward X
connection thing), and then will upgrade and resubmit a list of the
libraries with reportbug - perhaps this will shed light on things.
