Title:
  Apport doesn't ignore crashes from a given program when told to

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apport

  Steps to reproduce:
   1) Activate apport
   2) Run a crashy process (in my case Desktop Couch or Opera plug-in wrapper)
   3) When the process crashes, check the checkbox in the Apport dialog that requests Apport not to show notifications of the same program again.
   4) Run the crashy process again

  Actual results:
  Apport keeps reporting the crashes from the perma-crashing process after being told not to.

  Expected results:
  Expected Apport not to report crashes for an app that the user has excluded from reporting by checking the "don't tell me again" box.
