Title:
  (usuability): why is apport is asking me my Admin password before
  anything?

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apport

  I am working on my *buntu desktop... and suddenly, i receive not 1 but
  4 password dialog window asking me my admin password to do some root-
  only task...

  hmm, no information about what except that it is apport-kde

  why does it need root access? why can't it present me some useful
  information before asking the user a password?

  thank you
