Title:
  [wishlist] offer to save the core dump for unknown applications

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apport

  This is just a small bonus which I think would be nice.  Currently,
  with ulimit one can specify whether one wishes all crashing
  applications to dump core, but usually one is only interested in a
  couple of applications.  It would be nice if Apport had a mode in
  which it asked the user whether to save a core file when a non-Ubuntu
  application crashed (i.e. when I am developing myself, but do not wish
  to run inside the debugger every time) - something like the setting in
  Windows where you can automatically attach a debugger to a crashing
  application, and something that Linux is still sorely missing.
