Fedora and *buntu have online bug reporting tools. The *buntu one is
hard to find without going through literally three pages of docs, here
it is:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug/?no-redirect
Debian might be a problem, I know.

It looks to me that you are using Qt4 apps (KDE 4), Qt3 apps (Kwrite)
and GTK apps (Firefox). That will be difficult on your system, no
doubt. I hope that you don't open an OpenOffice window with all that
going on!

Please file bugs at Ubuntu on this. I don't use of know Jack, so I
cannot help, but this list might help you:
