I added support for -x (for xprop ?) option to the bin/apport-bug script, which will enable user to point at the problematic window and generate a crash report for that application.
I used Matt Zimmerman's idea of implementation in the code as discussed above However, the idea of adding ability for taking screenshot is still left as gnome-screenshot does not provide any straight forward functionality to do this. It would require the user to select the window twice, (first time for xprops, and 2nd time for gnome-screenshot). I think doing this will cross the scope of a bitesize bug :-). ** Patch added: "Patch for bug 357847" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/357847/+attachment/1906658/+files/apport-bugfix-357847.diff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/357847 Title: ubuntu-bug wish: allow to just point at the window of a buggy application -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
