Er, hang on a sec. The easy-fix keyword was added after I discussed with
darin the best way to help out with some bug classifying to nautilus. It
wasn't added by me, I've just used it as per darin's instructions and
only in reference to nautilus bugs. In no way shape or form have I used
this with other bugs (that I can remember).
