Title:
  apport-kde never reports anything if called by crash handler

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Sometimes some (non-KDE) application crashes, I get the notification
  by the crash handler (exclamation mark on orange background) and click
  on it. I get a window asking me with a checkbox whether I want to
  report a bug and whether to keep the application closed or restart it.
  I click restart and can see in the process list (htop) that apport-kde
  does some heavy lifting. After a while it is finished, but I never get
  pointed to the launchpad website, see a bugreport number or anything
  of that sort, which would indicate that apport-kde actually sent a
  report.

  dmesg says:
  [16696.241296] chromium-browse[18546]: segfault at 30 ip 00000030 sp bfcc1dcc error 4 in libXrender.so.1.3.0[110000+8000]

  /var/log/syslog has nothing in addition to the kernel message.

  /var/log/apport.log says:
