Title:
  apport launched from xubuntu/xfce's system tray (crash report
  notification) doesn't accept sudo password

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When I get the crash report bubble in xfce's system tray and I click
  it -> report problem, it asks for my password, yet doesn't accept it.
  synaptic is the same when launched from system tray. However, all
  other apps (e.g. upgrade manager, additional drivers manager, etc.)
  accept my password when attempting admin duties
