Title:
  Apport failed to create CoreDump for X.org crash (with no reason)

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  X.org crashed, but the report is not useful, because it's missing the
  CoreDump.

  I would have expected at least some indication about why the core dump
  is missing in apport's log.
