Heart = gnome-love; X = ????

Looking at bugzilla.gnome.org for GIMP bugs, I noticed that some of the GIMP bugs are marked with hearts, some with yellow X symbols, and one with both. While browsing the bugbase, I discovered that the heart symbol was associated with GNOME-love keyword, that is, a project suitable for newbies.

However, I can't seem to find what the yellow X means, even after looking at bugs that have it. There's no alt attribute to enlighten me, either. My initial thought was it meant "we're never going to do this" but after discovering GNOME-love, I thought it might mean "GNOME-hate," that is a project that would make newbies run screaming from the thought of contributing to open source software. But then why would it be on a GNOME-love bug?

Can anyone enlighten me, please?

The X is an icon of two patches crossed together and marks that there are patches attached to the bug report.
