Bug Description

Recently with 15.10 my Xubuntu started to behave strangely in a way that just after every reboot and login, CPU hits 100% usage and keeps so for some half a minute.

If I run top/htop, I always see many (aprx. 12) lines with "/usr/bin/python3 /usr/share/apport-gtk" - see the attachment.

Why?

Is it a python problem? apport problem? Some other problem?

This is quite new behaviour, some month ago I believe it was not like this (that is why I noticed, after all)

I've noticed several "launchpadlib.cache.*" directories in my /tmp while all this is happening...

This problem is still valid and unresolved, I attach a fresh screenshot.

Any ideas why this could be?
May it be because of the encrypted /home?
Or... ??

Thanks
