Bugzilla slightly confusing

OK, I've just filed a bug on http://bugzilla.xfce.org after a quick
check through to see if there were any similar bugs. There weren't based
on my search using the drop down selection of Terminal. That's from
http://bugzilla.xfce.org and choosing search at the bottom of the page.

After filing the bug I find myself on a Common Xfce Queries page
(http://bugzilla.xfce.org/common_queries.cgi) and check to see if my bug
is there. This has a different list of options for assigning bugs to and
in this list is xfce4-terminal and on that search I find a matching bug,
but there is no sign of mine - in fact there seem to be a different list
of bugs!

So xfce4-terminal is a symlink to Terminal, but there seem to be two
different lists of bugs for them both. The end result is that these two
bugs look to be the same one, but categorised one against the app and
one against the symlink!

http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1111 (xfce4-terminal symlink)
http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1262 (Terminal app)

I've added comments to both bugs to bring any work together.
