Bug? Crash notification icon disappears without identifying.

[Ken VanDine]

Please do file a bug, against apport (at least a good first step).  I
can't say off hand if this is the designed behavior or not, but I think
it would be good to address it.  Filing a bug will get the right people
to look at it.

Thanks for taking the time to help make ubuntu better!
