Well, the query screen is powerful, and as a consequence, it's ugly.   
Everything is there for a reason.  If you're a developer, the query tool 
is what it needs to be.  The same is also true for the full bug screen.

There are some cosmetic hacks that can be done (and have been done by other 
projects using Bugzilla).   The bug screens in our verson of Bugzilla can 
be simplified; both Gnome and KDE have a simplified interface for users, 
and the full interface for developers.

If there's not already a bug in our system asking for this, please open 
one.
