I have been. I filed a file bugzilla's on all but one that was just a warning
message relating to gnu info I think. Most have been fixed. There is still
one for nethack and another for the plymouth solaris plugin. The remaining
bugs (including a couple that are fixed, but I haven't personally verified
yet) are all linked to from the games spin feature page in the current status
section. I removed links for the bugs that were fixed and verified by me.

The nethack one is updating the icon cache before gtk2 has been installed.
I don't think that is likely.

I forget exactly what I thought was happening with the solaris plugin, but
it also didn't seem likely to be causing a real problem.

Though getting rid of the error messages would be nice. I was concerned when
I first saw them and I expect other people will be as well.
