I checked this with Kubuntu and discovered that Konqueror doesn't seem
to have a file association for .crash files.  However, I found that
using '/usr/share/apport/apport-qt
--crash-file=/var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash' will launch the crash
reporting wizard.  Perhaps a bug should be filed about Konqueror and
this missing functionality.

I have updated the Bug/Responses with something that tries to cover bugs
missing crash reports and those with ".crash" file attachments.  It also
contains both ways to report the crash.  Please let me know what you 
think and thanks for bringing this to my attention.
