apport-gtk window launcher by apport-collect is tiny and cannot be resized

[Eliah Kagan]

In a Lubuntu Desktop session on an Oneiric i386 system with lubuntu-desktop 0.28, openbox 3.5.0-0ubuntu3, and apport/apport-gtk 1.23-0ubuntu3, I ran apport-collect, which launched apport-gtk. apport-gtk's window was tiny and could not be resized, making it extremely difficult for me to view the information that was going to be submitted.

I do not generally experience this problem with apport-gtk. For example, I then invoked ubuntu-bug with the first apport-gtk instance's PID, which (as expected) launched a second instance of apport-gtk to report this bug. That instance of apport-gtk had a properly sized window, which I was able to make even bigger in the usual way.

The problem is illustrated by the attached screenshot. The original apport-gtk window (launched by apport-collect) is the one on the upper-left, while the second, properly functioning apport-gtk window (which I used to initiate this bug report) is the one on the lower-right.
