You don't ask much! Anyway, I followed your recipe and managed to produce the failure and a crash report was created in /var/crash. In fact, I did this twice--I'm getting to be an expert in crashing gnome-terminal. I understood your message to require that I restart apport. That didn't work. The crash didn't produce a report. So I did a total reboot--perhaps I only need to log out to restart all the gnome stuff--and that did the trick. There is no need to use Nautilus to find the report and double-click it. (And, if you want to do that, you need to change the permissions of the report, which are 0600.) There was a notification placed in the panel and I was able to click that and, or so I was led to believe by the information in the GUI, send off the report. > I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will > automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more > efficiently.

I'm attaching the crash report, since the feature to send it automatically might not actually work. Please reopen the bug report.
