Title:
  Error alerts appear on login for problems in previous session

Status in Apport:
  Fix Released
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apport source package in Precise:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Multiple people are reporting that Apport shows an error alert, after
  login, for errors that occurred in the previous Ubuntu session.

  For example, Sebastien Bacher
  <https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-
  release/2012-August/001674.html>, Dylan McCall
  <https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-
  release/2012-August/001684.html>, and Oliver Grawert
  <https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-
  release/2012-August/001691.html>.

  This shouldn't happen. If Ubuntu logs out or restarts *because* of a
  crash (e.g. an Xorg crash), it's reasonable to explain why that
  happened at next login. But it isn't useful to do that when the logout
  or shutdown was intentional.

  Instead, we should collect those error reports and send them at the
  same time as the next error that does deserve explanation.
