However it looks nice because of the low barrier for users, I'm not really 
happy with the fact that bug reports become decentralized. I'd rather see 
that bug reports somehow end up at http://bugs.kde.org as well.

Does it only make sense with applications with windows? What about 
applications, like RSIBreak, which only have a configure dialog.

Kind regards,
