Unconfirmed bugs are mostly bugs that cannot be reproduced.
The respective functionality might work fine on all installation the developer 
has access to. The bug could be triggered by a different distributor's 
packaging, by other programs running on the user's system, etc.

I once had an amok running Kicker, but the problem wasn't Kicker but the 
KMLDonkey applet running inside it (memory leak).
If I had filed a bug report about Kicker crashing, how would anyone confirm it 
who might not be running the KMLDonkey applet?

Cheers,
Kevin
