Crash/error report text can't be copied to clipboard

[Dan Dascalescu]

When an application crashes, the "The application XXX has closed unexpectedly" dialog doesn't allow copying the text to the clipboard. I want to send to the developer only the title of the crash, or I want to do a web search for it, so going to /var/crash and hunting for the right file is overkill.

Please make the text in that dialog copy/pastable.
