Public bug reported:
Something (related to Cinnamon) crashes, so the usual popup appears
telling me that something crashed, and asking me whether I wanted to
send a report. I choose Send.
Every time this happens, then a process called apport-gtk starts
consuming 100% CPU and it goes on for several minutes, so long that I
end up killing it.
There's no way there is a good reason for consuming so much CPU for so
long. If you need to do such an amount of processing just to generate
and send a bug report, something is deeply broken. But if the operation
actually had to be that computationally expensive, then you must do it
in a less intensive way so that it can go on in the background, for no
matter how long, without rendering me unable to use my computer.
