Title:
  "Compiz" inappropriately described as an "application"

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  apport 2.6.1-0ubuntu9, compiz 1:0.9.8.6-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu 12.10

  1. Experience a crash in compiz.

  What happens: "The application Compiz has closed unexpectedly. ( Show
  Details ) ( Leave Closed ) ( Relaunch)"

  What's wrong with this: Compiz is not an application, and people
  shouldn't have to know it by name.

  What should happen: "Sorry, Ubuntu has experienced an internal error.
  ( Show Details ) ( Continue )"

  This might be because the compiz package contains a .desktop file when
  it should not.

  "Relaunch" is offered as a possible action when Compiz has already
  relaunched, but that is bug 993400, not this bug.
