Title:
  ubuntu-bug does not open a browser under unity8 session

Status in Apport:
  New
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  To reproduce:

  1. Have a mobile device wth ubuntu touch.
  2. Plug in a USB keyboard and mouse, activating desktop mode.
  3. Open a terminal and run "ubuntu-bug apport" (or any package you like.)

  Expected result:

  A browser window should open allowing the user to report the bug.

  Actual result:

  apport asks a series of questions in the terminal, finally asking the
  user if they want to launch a browser. Choosing to launch the browser
  causes apport to exit. No browser window is opened and the bug is not
  reported.
