I know what you mean. The is not useful part is if you're missing debuginfo packages. You can have a 3 star report, but if you can't give info about what you did as it crashed it doesn't report at all. Well, you could trick it probably by giving "blah blah blah" as description and it would send it ;) But i doubt the devels would be happy :) -- LG Thomas Dubium sapientiae initium
