Bug Description
apport 1.93-0ubuntu2, Ubuntu 12.04 beta 1
1. Trigger a crash (e.g. at a terminal, "sh -c 'kill -SEGV $$'").
What happens:
* An extra indicator menu appears.
* A notification bubble appears: "An application has crashed on your system (now or in the past). Click on the notification icon to display details."
What's wrong with this:
* There's no point in showing a menu that contains only an item to open an alert box, instead of just opening the alert box.
* No, it wasn't an application that crashed, it was a command line.
* "(now or in the past)" is silly.
* "Click on the notification icon"? What's a "notification icon"?
* It doesn't follow the design specification.
What should happen: "When there is an error, an alert should appear with text and buttons depending on the situation. " <https:/
Fixing this bug would automatically fix bug 752017.
