Bug Description
Kubuntu Karmic alpha 3.
Apport crash handler opens a window asking if I want to send the report to the developers, I click "yes" then nothing happens, no browser window is opened, etc.
Hint: the outcome of ps aux | grep apport shows that there is quite a lot of processes related to apport running in the memory:

This bug seems to be similar to Bug #81207, nevertheless I understand that official policy is to file a new bug if the old one is "fix commited".

I was wondering why my system was starting to swap.... and discovered that I have 112 of these processes running,
each consuming between 1MB and 25MB of memory (over 2GB in total.) No on screen notifications, and nothing in the task bar.
Also running Karmic alpha 3. Not sure what bugs is causing the apports to be generated, but apport itself seems like a bigger bug at the moment.
