No, I don't have a jaunty system (Debian testing). > 60 seconds to follow the instructions for reproduction in the original > bug report (as modified to allow for the fact that the specific package > has been removed so presumably it's some other config utility) to find > out whether this bug is still a problem? Then you could say something I already checked before asking, and I couldn't find the sliders you were speaking of. Since I don't often use these dialogs, I chose not to close the bug report directly (I could have missed them). But thanks anyway, for trying to explain me what I should do while I'm already doing it. > like "The new display preferences utility in Jaunty is <foobar>; I > checked and it doesn't have this bug." which is much more useful and > informative and less likely to irritate bug submitters by sounding like > a pointless health-check message; and then you would be able to actually > close the bug... Standard bugs responses (from <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses> for example) are even worse that my pointless health-check message. > (You might like to read > http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~cjwatson/blosxom/ubuntu/2009-02-27 > -bug-triage-rants.html) These posts mostly describe interactions between bug triagers and developers. I uploaded almost all Xfce 4.6 packages into jaunty. So, should my developer self bash my bug triager self? But here is the standard response I should have pasted here when closing the bug instead of asking for input: " Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - the Jaunty Jackalope.
