You should send a message like this to control@, Ccing libgtk2.0-0@packages.debian.org, so the maintainer of the recipient package gets it: ----8<---- reassign 301123 libgtk2.0-0 thanks I have spent some time hunting down this bug, and I think it's a bad interaction between sawfish and libgtk2.0. I tested this by <blah> and <blah>, and got the following strace/backtrace output: <more explanation to follow> ---->8---- By doing this, you're making as sure as you can that the maintainer of the package you're reassigning to doesn't think you're just foisting the bug off onto them because you don't know how to fix it yourself.
