.desktop files can specify the bugzilla product & component which
bug-buddy must use. Bug-buddy will give confusing error messages if that
product/component cannot be found (these are specified in XML files).

We could add a hack to pretend control-center still exists (together
with gnome-control-center). Then we must also fix the script that
actually reads the bug-buddy email.

Those are actually only used to check if the .desktop stuff is ok and
for versions etc. Also it allows bug-buddy to show a list of products on
Bugzilla.

For XMl-RPC Fer made it that if the .desktop file doesn't specify a
product/component, bug-buddy will not even try to submit the stacktrace
(perhaps it will automatically save it -- not sure).
If product and component are specified it should pass them on without
checking.
