We need the rate limiting for system processes, especially those which
restart themselves automatically. Without this, the user would
potentially get infinitely many apport dialogs. In theory we can check
whether it is an application which has a .desktop file, but this check
is very expensive (it needs to happen at the time of the crash, not at
the time when the user says "report this").
So we might need to resort to some heuristics instead (looking at uid,
$DISPLAY, etc.). Also, we should keep the property of not updating a
crash report if the current one hasn't been shown by the UI yet, as a
first line of defense.
