So it looks from the replies that rbug and rbug-gui is still useful.

It sounds a good idea FWIW.  I believe that rbug-gui depends on the 
gallium interface, and we don't maintain backwards compatibility, so 
moving it rbug-gui into somewhere like src/gallium/tools/ and have it 
built by default should enable to keep it in sync more easily.

That said, integrating rbug-gui into Mesa tree is beyond my immediate 
goals/needs.  So I'll let those who do use rbug + rbug-gui to take that 
task on.
