Now that does sound like a good idea. Do you if there's anything in GTK
that can extract meta data from a window simply by clicking on it, or
anything along those lines?

"ubuntu-bug --papercut rhythmbox" would work well for our needs. We could
bundle the GUI app into another package, perhaps ubuntu-dev-tools-extra.
How does that sound?
