  Press Alt+F2 to open the "Run Application" window, pictured above.  Type `ubuntu-bug `''`<package name>`'' and click ''Run''. If you're not sure which package has the problem,
  refer to the instructions for [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage|finding the right package]].

+ 
+ If you want to file a bug about an application but you don't know what that application's package name is, if it has an open window you are in luck.
+ 
+ In a terminal execute the command 'ubuntu-bug -w'.

+ After you close the dialog the next window that you click on will have a problem report created for the package that created the window.
