FWIW, we tried to do this with GNOME, and found it bloody awful. We may not have done it properly in the first place (and that's more than likely) but it was a real pain trying to sync up the two databases, and we ended up polluting bugster with a whole lot of crap. You'd really want a full time bug master to keep on top of all of this. Glynn
