Is it just me, or is there a reason for it?

Suppose a user logs tech support ticket with "I tried to open a file
and I got a message, I'm not sure what it said but the file didn't
open". A quick remote look at the logs will quickly point at an
apparmor problem. No need to call the user and ask him/her to re-open
the file in order for him/her to read out the error message or show it
to tech support through vnc.
