Hasn't this already reached F15? Have you readded the GTKIO stuff?

Why? Is it remembered within the session? Can't it save the bugzilla

Do we have to do anything to our packages to make this work?
- mentioned packages should change:

- the references to report should be removed once we're done with the
transition
