[Bug 96197] The "Report a bug" option is a pain and should be removed

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

There is a new option in applications such as nautilus, gedit, rhythmbox
in the Help menu: report a bug.

When clicking on it, it tells me informations are gathered to help
developers out; It does not tell me which ones, if they may be
sensitive, privacy related...

Then it brings me on the launchpad register page, in english. No nice
GTK GUI here. Too bad, it's not translated, the average joe would
already fail there. Then it ask for a mail adress to register. Bug
reports should NOT force the user to register :/

I think this option may just confuse the average user; it's not
translated, require registration, has no gtk ui, collect unknown
informations... Please, improve it, or remove it....

** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
