Bug Description
Binary package hint: gksu
1. New style notification "A program has crashed"
2. Click on explosion icon in menu to read report
3. Get message "Could not grab the mouse ..."
This error message is uninformative, and also useless.
Ideally gksu would not print this message as they user has no idea what it means and no mean what they should do about it.
(This is probably down to the applet in the main menu that caused the gksu still having a grab from handling the click, and as such is going to happen fairly frequently).
