In debug builds sure but in all the release builds?  Something about a
prominent reminder of bugs in release software bothers me.  Some projects
already get a lot of out of date feedback on the same bugs.  I'm not
entirely sure that a a greater quantity of feedback is necessarily a good
idea for everyone.  (Having bug-buddy come up when there is a crash is
still a great thing to have though.)

If this is something you really want to see added to the whole desktop
could there be a way to turn it off for the whole desktop?

Can we have a stock GTK item for this first so that the label will be
consistent and easily translatable in just one place?

Good luck with the next version of Bug-Buddy.
