If a KDE bug report is marked INVALID, you should be told why. Usually it
doesn't mean that it isn't a valid bug report, it just isn't reported to the
people who can actually fix it. 

If they don't find the bug, then it is fixed for the next version, that's 
good, right? If they're using the same version you are to test, then provide
more information of what could be different. ie why does it work for them and
not you?

Inside of the KDE Bugzilla, we can move around reports. But there are 
many, many distros out there. We don't have the people power to go and refile
bugreports to them ourselves if it's a distro issue. 

If you don't report your bugs, developers won't know about them.
And then they won't fix them. ;)

Yes, bugs.kde.org is a little annoying, but to quote a friend:

"If you can't be bothered to spend 5 minutes reporting a bug, 
why should I bother to spend half an hour debugging it?"


Hopefully this helps,
