I can't fill bugzilla ticket because I just don't know
exactly to what
component this issue must be assigned - xorg-x11, some particular

in freetype or somethere - I don't know.
I can't submit this bug for a list of possible components - I need to
choose something (and probably I will make a wrong choose since I'm
not a specialist in X.org architecture)
This is a issue with a communication part - I can't describe my
problem with a more freeform text than bugzilla permits (only one
version of distro, only one particular component, only maintainer(s)
of current one component). On the other hand bugzilla, this Monster
from the 90ies provides us many completely useless (for simple users,
Average Joe as me, for example) combinations of
Priority/Severity/Status and Resolution. I think that must be only two
of them - opened/closed...
Summarizing things - I shouting that bugzilla in no way a suitable
solution for filling bugs for users then they are don't know anything
about internals of issue. More to say - they must look at the Bugzilla
as a Labyrinth designed for hiding the solutions within.
Bugzilla does not require you to know to know that much. When it comes
to components, you don't need to know. Last time I checked it read: "If
necessary, just guess".
And when comes to version of the distro, you can easily determine it by
clicking "System" and choosing "About fedora". I also believe the
version number is visible somewhere during the boot.
For other field that bother you, such as "Priority" or "Severity" my
advice for you is: Don't be bothered by them if you don't know what they
do. Do not touch them.
Fedora tends to be overbloated. More and more dependencies are
coming.
For example - my bluetooth mouse need a half part of samba to work -
can you imagine that?
Hm I am wondering why gvfs depends on 50M samba-common. Maybe the samba
dependent part could be made into a subpackage?
Could you please file a bug report? It would be a nice exercise of
filing tickets in Bugzilla, you can utilize the hints from above :o)
Funny but I more and more time spending working in Mac environment
(because of the Fedora issues). One note - Safari complains about
bugzilla's query pages (looks like nobody tested them in Safari)
Noone has to use Safari. In fact, it is usually a pretty bad idea to do
so. However it might be nice to have it working there...
