+
+How to report bugs
+==================
+
+Bugs should be reported to the GNOME bug tracking
+system. (http://bugs.gnome.org). To report a problem
+about GTK+, send mail to submit@bugs.gnome.org.
+
+The subject of the mail should describe your problem.
+In the body of the mail, you should first include
+a "pseudo-header" that gives the package and
+version number. This should be separated by a blank
+line from the actual headers.
+
+ Package: gtk+
+ Version: 1.3.1
+
+[ Please substitute 1.3.1 with the version of GTK+ that
+ you have installed ]
+
+Then describe the bug. Include:
+
+* Information about your system. For instance:
+
+ - What operating system and version
+ - What version of X
+ - For Linux, what version of the C library
+
+ And anything else you think is relevant.
+
+* How to reproduce the bug.
+
+ If you can reproduce it with the testgtk program that is built
+ in the gtk/ subdirectory, that will be most convenient. Otherwise,
+ please include a short test program that exhibits the behavior.
+ As a last resort, you can also provide a pointer to a larger piece
+ of software that can be downloaded.
+
+ (Bugs that can be reproduced within the GIMP are almost as good
+ as bugs that can be reproduced in testgtk. If you are reporting a
+ bug found with the GIMP, please include the version number of the GIMP
+ you are using)
+
+* If the bug was a crash, the exact text that was printed out
+ when the crash occured.
+
+* Further information such as stack traces may be useful, but
+ is not necessary. If you do send a stack trace, and the error
+ is an X error, it will be more useful if the stacktrace
+ is produced running the test program with the --sync command
+ line option.
+
+An example of a bug report:
+
+====
+To: submit@bugs.gnome.org
+From: yourname@your.address.org
+Subject: handlebox test in testgtk is misnamed.
+
+Package: gtk+
+Version: 1.3.1
+
+When I run gtk/testgtk, the button "handle box"
+is misnamed. There are multiple handle boxes in
+the demo, so it should be "handle boxes", to
+be like "buttons" or "check buttons".
+===
+
+Patches
+=======
+
+Patches can be uploaded to the incoming/ directory on
+ftp.gtk.org. Please follow the instructions there, and include
+your name and email address in the README file.
+
+If the patch fixes a bug, it is usually a good idea to include
+all the information described in "How to Report Bugs".
