Yes, where a bug obviously fits well with someone then it should be
assigned. Like the profile dialog issue which I assigned to Mikhail.

Luke will assign the various mouse pointer issues to himself once he
starts looking at them.

Well they are fairly well prioritised already I think. I tend to
prioritise them as soon as they come in and often that's when the
reporter will get some sort of response. Prioritisation is very
subjective of course.

P1 - we reserve for release stopping issues (none currently because
we've just done a release).
P2 - fix ASAP
P3 - need to be fixed before a 1.0 release
P4/P5 - don't necessarily need to be fixed even for a 1.0 release.
