Title:
  "apport" automatic bug-reporting system doesn't (apparently) let you
  see what it reports to launchpad

Status in Apport:
  Invalid
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Kubuntu gutsy has this nice feature that if something crashed on
  startup, logout or adept-upgrade, there will be a dialog box appearing
  (apport?) , that lets you automatically file info about the crash to
  launchpad.

  Wanting to be a "good citizen", I occasionally clicked yes on this,
  and went through with reporting the problem. However, apart from the
  subject, it doesn't let you see _what_ it reports... Most notably, the
  actual output (DpkgTerminalLog.gz etc.) is not easily visible, and so
  you've got no way of deciding whether what you are reporting is
  actually a bug, or is rather due to some local circumstances. I've
  been bitten by this on bug #137442 .

  Would it be possible to add a possibility to "view attachment" that is
  available before "Submit Bug Report"?
