ABRT?

Hi.

I'll avoid quoting a whole bunch of stuff and get straight to the point:
I agree with all the points Bastien raised.

Furthermore, I think it would be best if the problem will be reported
*automatically*.
You can allow the user to comment on the problem if they have anything to
add directly from the notification ("The problem has been reported.
[comment]"). The "comment" button would open a simple screen in which
they'll be able to comment, but there shouldn't be a "progress" screen for
comment submission - it should be done in the background. There's no real
reason to make the user watch a progress screen when they report a comment,
and no real reason for them to close the dialog manually.

Another thing worth considering is having a button in the notification to
re-launch the program that crashed if it was a desktop app and not a
background service.

Users should be able to disable this kind of automatic reporting in the
privacy panel in Settings.

Ideally you want the reporting process to be un-intrusive and to take
little to no time from the user.
If you make the user wait more than a minute just to report an issue,
they'll not do it again ever.
