I like this idea, but (IMO, at least) it would be important for such a dialog to also automatically capture the USB IDs of the devices in question and post them to some place where the quirks list could be updated, perhaps similar to or as a part of the automated bug reporting system now in Ubuntu. (That said, it seems a lot more obvious to capture "app XYZ has crashed" (Segmentation Faults, etceteras) so the dialog might not be something that pops up automatically... the user may have to activate it manually, or it may pop up in cases where it doesn't apply, in which case we have to find a way to A) reverse the change, and B) triage or otherwise verify IDs which appear on any auto-generated list actually exhibit this problem, and can have their functionality restored by adding them to the quirks list.) But wouldn't that be a feature request (i.e. requiring a separate bug report under "wishlist" or specification)?
