Bug Description

I am being asked if I want to report/submit a system problem, but the browser is not being started to report it.

From apport.log:
ERROR: apport (pid 2563) Thu May 31 11:13:27 2012: called for pid 2550, signal 7
ERROR: apport (pid 2563) Thu May 31 11:13:27 2012: executable: /sbin/dhclient (command line "dhclient3 -e IF_METRIC=100 -pf /var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.eth0.leases -1 eth0")
ERROR: apport (pid 2563) Thu May 31 11:13:27 2012: is_closing_session(): no DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS in environment
ERROR: apport (pid 2563) Thu May 31 11:13:27 2012: wrote report /var/crash/_sbin_dhclient.0.crash

% cat .apport-ignore.xml
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<apport>
  <ignore mtime="1321452431" program="/usr/lib/evolution/e-calendar-factory"/>
</apport>

Are there any other files relevant to Apport in the user's home directory, which I might have taken over after re-installing Ubuntu, but re-using the home directory?

Reporting with "ubuntu-bug apport" works.
