It’s not that I totally dislike writing useful bug reports but there is the 
problem with the time.  With a five-person family, a 40 hours job and certain 
projects there is not much time to invest in bug report writing.  And if I 
want to invest at least a little bit of my time in a bug report and then 
discover that I should first invest hours to install a development version of 
KDE from source (a thing which I never did before and which could cause many 
problems) then my motivation to write this bug report doesn’t increase at 
least.  Probably, more of all those pupils and university student singles, 
who have so much time to spend, should get more active in the bug reporting 
area. :-|
