Next try -- the first time mail mail didn't pass the mailinglist
software setup ;-(  Sorry, Jacob if you see this mail twice.

Yes, that will certainly be useful.

My hope is, GNOME programs can offer an "Sent Bug Report..." entry in
the "About..." menu.  The next dialog can ask for example:


------------------------------------------------------------------------
    There's a bug or a problem with:

    (x) This program XYZ
    ( ) GNOME program _________
    ( ) GNOME in general (libraries, documentation, etc.)

                            <OK>    <Abort>
------------------------------------------------------------------------

But before digging deeper, I've to check out your program first...

Good, that you think about privacy.  I guess, it's okay, if you display
the complete report to the user before submitting.  And the amount of
data to submit could be customizable.
