I think it should be feasible to have a apport hook start checkbox to 
ask the user some questions and run some further tests before returning 
control to apport to collect more targeted information.

Somewhat related we also have a Karminc work item to facilitate bug 
filing directly from checkbox on failed tests, using apport (was planned 
for Jaunty but slipped).
