Top nastiest, horriblest, gruesomest, [adjective here]est bugs

[Luis Villa <louie ximian com>]

So, we're down to only 42 2.0.0 bugs, and we have three weekends and two
weeks to do this in. We fixed a whole slew this week... we're going to
cut it close but we're going to make it, I think :)

The list:

Best of news from this week:

34 2.0.0 bugs fixed. Just because we keep finding new crashers and such
doesn't mean we aren't making a ton of progress. Oh, and 213 total
GNOME2 bugs fixed this week. So, no, not too shabby :)

The worst of the remainders:

*mime type editing still pretty badly broken:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78778
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75620

jrb and anders appear to have some solutions here, but the sooner they
get coded, released, and tested the better off we are :) <nudge, nudge>

*help still sort of a mess:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73312
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81507 [currently 2.0.1 but
horribly ugly.]
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47606 [dependency of 81507]
http://makeashorterlink.com/?I2E322DA [remaining app-specific help
problems]

*transparent terminals:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79413
Anyone who can figure out how to reproduce this will get lots of virtual
Indian beer from Wipro. :)

*/possible/ that the new proxy infrastructure is busted:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81640

Would be bad if correct.

*crashers in panel:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78372
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81690
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81437

*crashers in nautilus:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77331
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74120
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81796
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77892

And I see that we never did file the directionality issue for viewport
navigation, at least not that I've marked to 2.0.0. If someone files
that, please add the keyword. Thanks.

At any rate... we're really headed in the right direction. We've still
got issues, sure, but we're going to have a solid 2.0.0 release that I
think we can be pretty proud of.[1] It might even kick a little bit of
ass pretty soon :)

[1]which doesn't mean there isn't plenty left for 2.0.1 :) I'd urge
anyone who doesn't see any 2.0.0 bugs they can tackle to work on those:
