[Bug 1614820] [NEW] Respect gsettings org.gnome.desktop.privacy report-technical-problems

[Jeremy Bicha]

Public bug reported:

gsettings-desktop-schemas 3.16+ includes this boolean key:
org.gnome.desktop.privacy report-technical-problems

This key is used in GNOME's Settings app and Initial Setup tool.

See

It would be great if Ubuntu would be able to integrate with that.

Perhaps the /etc/default/apport enabled=0/1 could be deprecated in favor
of that key.

Maybe apport could watch for that key and set /etc/default/apport and/or
the other way around

For full integration into GNOME, apport may need to duplicate abrt's
org.freedesktop.problems.daemon dbus service. (abrt is the crash
reporter used by RHEL, Fedora and derivatives.) This is ok since abrt is
not packaged in Debian or Ubuntu and their derivatives as far as I know.

Ubuntu Bug 1614818 requests that the GNOME apps support apport but I
think this bug may be the more correct way to do it.
