Bug Description

On booting my system, I see dialog reporting a "system program error" with no further information, and is asks me if I want to report this.

I have no basis on which to make the choice, because I have been completely unable to figure out what problem is being reported. The few times I told it to report, I got no feedback at all.

This does nothing to help me do any of the things I want to do about this situation:
1. diagnose or even identify the problem
2. determine if the message got you you, or to anybody for that matter
3. determine if there is an official fix
4. supply additional information
5. Fix the problem, whether on my own or based on an official fix

I'm attaching an image of the dialog I see, as it's all I can offer by way of identifying the source of the message.
