Helix GNOME has Bug-Buddy, no? It does all the things you are
suggesting.. I don't know if bug-buddy is exclusive to Helix or not,
though. Any time the Helix updater or some such Helix app crashes, it
automatically pops up the bug-buddy wizard. Now, what would be good is
if bug-buddy would pop up after *any* gnome/gtk+ app crashed.. that
might already be the case; I don't know for sure. But it is very useful
in Helix.
