Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: doc-gnome-hig

Here is a problem concerning bug reporting specially if you run Ubuntu
in another langage than english

If i want to report a bug againt an application, i go to help menu>About
and look at the name of the application, for instance "Moniteur Système"
(i'm french).

but if i want to fill a bug report, i have to select a package. No way
to know that "Moniteur Système" stands for "gnome-system-monitor".

Then i have to run Alacarte, click on the "Moniteur Système" entry,
select properties and look at the command to get the name of "gnome-
system-monitor"

Maybe there would be a lot more bugs reports if the package name could
figure in the About box, close to the translated application name ?

For instance :
