I've noticed with ubuntu 12.04 apport is enabled by default. Now I see the value in having a larger base of users reporting crash data, but this can really make ubuntu seem unstable and buggy to a new user, definitely not a good impression if ubuntu wants more mainstream usage. I get these damn popups every few days, and they are always tiny crashes that don't have any real-world effect on my system, and they are always bugs that are already reported.
I think apport should either be disabled by default, or have an opt-in option (maybe an option that shows up during the install?) to silently report crash data in the background if the bug is already reported.
