Bug Fixing Attitude
As Mikkel “Kamstrup” noted on his blog, bug hunting is all about attitude.
Here is mine:
Note how the photographer interrupted the bug-fixer, forcing him to simulate a smile.
Also note the reference manual in case the man pages are missing.
What’s your bug hunting attitude ?

And it looks like Gnome could do with some bug fixing
See http://scan.coverity.com/
Defects / 1000 lines of code: 2.824
Current # Defects: 1529
I am a happy Gnome user, and I hope somebody with the the skills (and attitude) will bring that number down

Happily it seems like there was some defect in the Coverity scan April 10th - now the stats are much better (the total number of code lines was wrong too):
Defects / 1000 lines of code: 0.252
Current # Defects: 810
