If this change is a good idea, then backporting it to 12.04 is fine by me. I'm still skeptical, though. A crash on logout could involve an app failing to save a document or settings as it exits. If so, that's something developers should discover and fix just as much as any other error. As a compar

Martin, if we're just dropping the errors altogether, rather than aggregating them with the next interrupt-worthy error, that will reduce the reported error rate on errors.ubuntu.com. That is, it will make it look as if Ubuntu has become more reliable when it hasn't. This is the sort of thing that

trunk r2746 now does not produce popups any more at the start of the desktop session which concern crashes from ealier sessions. You can still manually report them by double-clicking on the .crash, or running apport-{cli,gtk,kde} on the .crash file, but they won't pop up automatically any more. Tha

Unless I'm mistaken (which is possible), this bug is affecting many, many users who are being greeted at login with a rather nasty looking alert for myriad small errors caught at logout or shutdown (e.g. Google Chrome not exiting correctly - a common occurrence). This massively impacts the perceiv

The main use case for showing old user (not system) related crashes after login are crashes from cron, screen, and remote sessions. However, the are certainly a corner case, and for stable releases I'd go as far as ignoring them entirely. This would be a simple and safe SRUable change. Telling them
