[Bug 1956415] Re: wiki pages about filing bug reports have out of date info

[Chris Guiver]

I just performed a quick test of `ubuntu-bug -w` & clicking on an open
`qterminal` window... it correctly offered to file a bug report on
qterminal for me (not filed of course).  It worked on this
Ubuntu/Lubuntu (LXQt) jammy system; though it's not a fresh/clean
install on tagging `qterminal`

I booted a recent QA-test install of Ubuntu-MATE jammy (thus fresh
install), and ran `ubuntu-bug -w` and clicked the mate-terminal, again
it correctly identified the package.

As a Ubuntu-MATE welcome window had appeared; I clicked on that and it
wrongly wanted to report on python3.9.  That isn't correct; but the
Welcome program is a snap; so maybe the issue is it's not detecting snap
packages?

(this testing was quick & not thorough)

Title:
  wiki pages about filing bug reports have out of date info

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage and
  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs

  both say that you can find the right package for a bug in a window'ed app using 
  ubuntu-bug -w

  the former also says you can:
  Launch System -> Preferences -> Main Menu.
  Select the item for the application. (For example, System -> Preferences -> Display.)
  Click "Properties" button.
  Write down the "Command" value. 

  or
  xprop WM_CLASS

  none of those work for me in 21.10.
