Title:
  Apport UI should inform what crashed before user hits "Show Details"

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  $ lsb_release -a
  LSB Version:	core-2.0-amd64:core-2.0-noarch:core-3.0-amd64:core-3.0-noarch:core-3.1-amd64:core-3.1-noarch:core-3.2-amd64:core-3.2-noarch:core-4.0-amd64:core-4.0-noarch
  Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
  Description:	Ubuntu quantal (development branch)
  Release:	12.10
  Codename:	quantal

  $ apt-cache policy apport-gtk

    Installed: 2.5.2-0ubuntu4
    Candidate: 2.5.2-0ubuntu4
    Version table:
   *** 2.5.2-0ubuntu4 0

  Considering that the number of times apport-gtk window pops-up when
  testing Ubuntu Development Releases can be a little overwhelming, it
  would be nice to be immediately informed of what crashed when we first
  look at it. That way, testers would quickly be able to decide if it's
  worth reporting the specific problem or not.

  The way it is now, we must click the "Show Details" button and wait
  for the details to load to know what has crashed. If we have already
  reported the program shown in the Details at "ExecutablePath", it's
  generally useless to report it again, so hitting "Show Details" and
  waiting for details to be loaded was wasted time.

  Ideally, the string stored at "ExecutablePath" should be displayed in
  apport-gtk main window right below the "Sorry, Ubuntu has experienced
  something..." line. Maybe in smaller fonts to accommodate the full
  path.

  I believe this is a small UI change that would make testing a little
  less annoying and more productive.
