As a plea to users of Fedora:
If you get notifications from ABRT, the Automatic Bug Reporting Tool, please spend a bit of time on submitting the _complete_ report instead of only enabling shortened reports. Sometimes the shortened reports may be interesting, but in enough cases they are useless.
Also please don't forget entering a minimum of details, such as whether the problem/crash is reproducible and how often it can be reproduced, and how to reproduce it.

FWIW: I once more experienced abrt to send report without user consent.
This is completely inacceptable, these days - I therefore decided to pull the plug and uninstalled it on all of my systems. I recommend everybody doing the same, who is concerned about data privacy.
(No, I don't have a reproducer. These incidents happened several times at occasions since I have installed f22).

Well, you should start think about the causes - IMO, these are very obvious: Abrt's GUI non-suiteable for ordinary users.
