On Tue, 20 Feb 2007 (40 days ago) I posted a list of the most annoying GNOME bugs in openSUSE 10.2. Let's sum up what's the situation today, not considering the bugs which were labelled as not solvable soon: Bug 229190 - main-menu Hangs Bug 228129 - gnome-main-menu leaks ~2mb per recent entry/opened file Two patches were proposed on bugzilla. No one solves the problem effectively. It seems they work for someone, in some cases, but the menu still leaks a lot of ram and hangs. Bug 215301 - Banshee doesn't recognise my ipod anymore Still present. A patchinfo was submitted only on march 3rd, 2007 ( https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=215301 ). It seems a biblical time to compile a player and provide a patch, considering the problem was present in beta releases and reported on time. Someone explained to me that the patch release process requires time to assure quality. But all this time wasn't required by the kernel patch which broke the grub menu to almost all users, and made some system unbootable. So, I don't understand. Some update on the real intentions to patch or not would help. These long patching times are becoming ridiculous. Btw, it would be interesting to know, for example, how long it would take to re-write the main-menu from scratch using C# for example (The reason it was written in C, with the consequences we know, is really not clear).
