Ah, I know why. gnome-panel links against libpolkit now, which disables
dumpability. This is a security measure to prevent leaking of passwords,
and prevent other processes from tapping into privileged processes in
order to silently abuse their privileges.

So we need to decide whether we value this higher than getting automated
crash reports. For stable releases, I think above check is more
important, while for development releases crash reports would be better.
