While I can't remember exactly how I came to post a bug in the complete wrong section, it could be useful for this page:
https://bugs.beta.launchpad.net/launchpad/+filebughttps://bugs.beta.launchpad.net/launchpad/+filebug
to show relevant phrasing for what you are filing your bug on, and to mention exactly what you are filing it on.

For example, where the text currently reads
"Please describe the bug in a few words, for example, "weather applet crashes on logout":"
It should read
"Please briefly describe the bug you found in Launchpad, for example, "Daniel is an idiot and posts in the wrong section".

Of course, I am not a coder, and have now idea how launchpad is structured, so I don't know the feasibility of this. However, the example of the weather applet crashing is rather misleading and does convince you that you are posting a bug about, at the very least, a desktop environment.
