Bad? 

Bad yes:

for marketing. You cant just say this commenter were just too stupid to get the right libs together.

Bad no:

for development.

says You need better CM:

- suggest the devs and QA people, users, agree on a certain range of gui libs versions.
- suggest meeting with distro maintainers and tight the deps found above to avoid lib/binary inconsistencies.
- improve exception handling and fault tolerance on the outside interfaces.
