Public bug reported:

# Preface:

I experienced this bug in update-notifier. 
However, I think this might be a Gtk-wide problem.

# Description:

update-notifier has a problem and shows error message:
----------------------------------------
--  System program problem detected
--  Do you want to report the problem now?
--  
--  Cancel    Report problem...
----------------------------------------

This message does not state where it's from. The user does not know what
is broken and what kind of help they should search for.

# Expected Behavior

The message should state that it's the update notifier which had a
problem.

(Side note: It might probably also provide some optional details and
explain what actually went wrong)
