Bug Description
Version 1.92 (with the whoopsie merge) does not always state the name of the program any more, but sometimes says "Ubuntu 12.04 encountered an internal error". This is arguably dumbing down the UI and makes it unnecessarily hard to relate the crash report to an action you just did. For example, yesterday I got two of these popups because nautilus and the unity video lens crashed (which was related).
If it would say the name of the program/package somewhere, it would be a lot easier to see that this might be the consequence of something you just did.
Perhaps we could put the name of the program in a normal-sized text label below the title if we say "internal error"? Or just revert to always saying the name of the program? After all, "internal error" has zero information, and it does not sound any less scary than "postfix" or "nautilus" IMHO.
