I already targeted the new version, 2.3.4, for experimental in case a RC bug would be filed against the old version in Wheezy. I had a look at #575087 and #599083 again but unfortunately severity "grave" would only be justified under one condition which is to demand that a package should work out-of-the-box even if the recommended packages were not installed. I'm sure both bug reporters didn't install the recommended gnome-extra-icons and the dustin font. If you install wbar the recommended way then it works just fine. But as Julien Valroff mentioned in the bug report [1], even if you had installed wbar without recommended packages, it would be enough to change the configuration and to point to an existing font. Don't get me wrong, i'd love to see wbar 2.3.4 in wheezy because it works with or without recommended packages out-of-the-box. Now the configuration is much easier with wbar-config but it still appeals to advanced users who care about efficient and lightweight software. Thus said i'd be happy to fix the bug for wheezy because i agree the old wbar version lacks a user friendly configuration, but i can only fix the bug if 2.3.4. migrates to wheezy. Otherwise i suggest to lower the severity to important again because wbar isn't unusable. Regards, Markus [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=599083#10
