Hmm. I just got an unhandled exception crash out of Gimp. And it's trivially easily repeatable. But shall I report it?
I think not. It's to do with closing the application with a particular dialogue open. I know from experience that such things (a) are a right bugger to fix, and (b) don't matter anyway, as the application is trying to shut down, so not worth fixing.
I've seen vast amounts of developer effort expended on making application shutdown slightly cleaner, and I don't wish to impose this on volunteers!
But do tell me if if I'm wrong and actually open source maintainers do like getting such reports.
