Comment:

 We don't let people submit bugs without registering because if we did we
 would have no way of getting in touch with the people and thus no way of
 getting answers to any follow-up questions we might have. Ideally we would
 support some distributed registration/identity system like openid or some-
 such but we don't at the moment. We really just need some amount of
 certainty that the people who submit tickets are going to pay attention
 when we make comments.

 As to the xbel file, I would imagine that file is used by GTK+ to remember
 recently used locations to files to populate the "Recently Used" entry in
 its file chooser dialog. I have that file in my user directory on Windows
 XP as well, though all the entries in it appear to be from the GIMP and
 not from pidgin. But that reinforces my belief that it is a GTK+ file and
 therefore cannot be under a per-application directory.
