Bug Description

Apparently update-notifier cannot trigger the gtk dialog to help report bugs if a panel with a notification area is not running. Didrocks says it ends up in an infinite loop of kill/spawns.

Since we're removed the regular gnome-panel from the unity session, we need apport's automatic crash detection dialog to run without that systray support.

update-notifier (0.110.1ubuntu3) natty; urgency=low

  * src/crash.c:
    - add dialog when system crashes are detected to avoid fullscreen
      gksu window
    - fix incorrect bits from the previous merge (thanks to Sebastien Bacher)
    - honor the /apps/update-notifier/auto_launch gconf key, if that is
      set never display a notifcation area icon but instead always fire
      up apport, if set, do the opposite and always show notifcation
      area icon and never fire up apport automatically
