Edgy "Crash Reports"?

[Jerry Haltom]

Probably a little late at this time, but I'd like to ask why only
non-Gnome applications are handled by appport?

It seems sensible to me that ALL crashes should be sent to Launchpad,
and then we should filter out Ubuntu-specific crashes and use LPs
upstream tracking to move the bug to the appropriate upstream.
