Spurious crash report dialog on every login

[Dan Kegel]

For the last few years, on nearly all my computers, ubuntu has
rewarded my logging in with a crash dialog. Nothing's actually
wrong; xorg probably trips over its shoelaces every time it
shuts down, but so late in the process that it doesn't matter.

Today I went through the crash upload procedure, but no
web browser window opened, so either I did something wrong,
or the bug is marked 'ignore uploads' somehow... hence
this manual report.

This bug has to have been reported before, but has probably
been marked WONTFIX or something because it is benign.

But it does matter, and it's not benign, because I, my wife,
and my son get those darn crash dialogs.

It doesn't seem to matter what graphics card or driver is in use.

Want the crash file left behind after the last upload?
