Binary package hint: timer-applet

It crashed when notifying me of completion. I had enabled sounds, which may have been part of the problem.

[Apport retracing service (apport)]

Thank you for taking the time to report this crash and helping to make Ubuntu better. This particular crash has already been reported and is a duplicate of bug #404978, so is being marked as such. Please look at the other bug report to see if there is any missing information that you can provide, or to see if there is a workaround for the bug. Additionally, any further discussion regarding the bug should occur in the other report. Please continue to report any other bugs you may find.

That bug is not public, so I can't see it.

I think that the apport retracing service should never mark bugs as duplicates of private bugs, since it makes it impossible for the reporter (me) to follow the progress.

I marked it as a dup of 446568 instead (which is public). I also find dups of private bugs really annoying!
