 That would include creating an account in there, which just doesn't
scale from a user's point of view. Such requests rather result in issues
not getting filed instead of having them noticed. It would be pretty
helpful if the poeple that actually do know the way where and how
upstream wants their bugs could forward it. It differs from project to
project and I'm not really interested in dig around again and again
everywhere.  :/

 I am willing to try to track it down if someone could actually tell me
where and how to start off with. See this as an offer to track it down,
but I'm running out of ideas and tries to work around. Things are
changing in big in xorg these days, I still need to dig through the
bugreports about the tap button issues to be able to find out what I
seemingly am doing wrong at that edge too to get back tapping...

 Reassigning it then. Just out of curiosity, isn't that the group of
people? :)

 Thanks,
