I don't entirely understand the user's complaint, but it sounds like it
must be valid... :)

Yep, I mean you should close it. If such a closing only results in a
minor flag change which may be missed by people (I missed it the last
tme I looked at it!) it would be nice to see also a human readable
comment (such as "is now fixed in trunk").

Trac provides the possibility to refer to commits and opens a diff
viewer once clicked an a revision. It should not be difficult for you to
refer to such a patch/revision in svn for trac.

Strange, I do not find the Trac bug database anymore on the website.
It's not below Support, Development, ...
Ah, now I see it's a toplevel item in the right strip on the website.
Once a subcategory (Welcome, Introduction, ...) is open it is missing (I
use the KDE konqueror web browser, 3.5.5)! Mhm, lost it again!??

How to view bug report? Please improve the website!
