great, that's how many got started.

as Mark already said, do check the version the bug was submitted, in some 
cases  it might not be relevant anymore. If you can reproduce the problem and 
need to find the right place in the sources, "grep" is a good way. Look at 
some rather unique string in the dialog and grep -r "string" in the program's 
sources. Or, if you only want to search in the cpp-files find . -type f -name 
"*.cpp" | xargs grep "string"

Cheers,
