This has been discussed on u-devel@, and the consensus was:
* Change apport-checkreports to check for the existence of system
crash reports if the user is in 'admin', and have apport-gtk gksu
itself if there is a system crash report it cannot read. This would
be the safe option, but requires some ugly hardcoding of group
names and semantics into apport. However, this hardcoding could
eventually be moved into the update-notifier apport code (when
we'll finally get event-notifier, this will be much cleaner).
** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu)
