Now that does sound like a good idea. Do you if there's anything in
GTK that can extract meta data from a window simply by clicking on it,
or anything along those lines?
Have a look at the code for 'ubuntu-bug -w'
With that in mind, couldn't this be implemented as a command-line
option
to ubuntu-bug to cause it to send a reduced set of information and do
the paper-cut-specific stuff, plus if necessary an additional
graphical
utility to deal with application selection? It could then live in
apport rather than needing a new package, and we won't need to dilute
the message about using ubuntu-bug to report bugs.
"ubuntu-bug --papercut rhythmbox" would work well for our needs. We
could bundle the GUI app into another package, perhaps
ubuntu-dev-tools-extra. How does that sound?
