I don't think that this is being done here. I would just like to suppress dialogs which are irrelevant for the user, and which are unlikely to ever get fixed in a stable release anyway (cf. crashes during logout, the rather large subset of daemon/python thread crashes which do not affect the UI, etc.). Because those won't ever go away, are a nuisance for the user, and don't help anyone. > We then have a choice between explaining what went wrong, or leaving > it a mystery. In many cases the popup itself _is_ the mystery, though :-( I'm not arguing against showing the popup for applications which just crashed in the user's session. Those are fine, and as I said in LP#1033471 I think it's totally fine to turn off rate-limiting for this case.
