It's no longer an issue for me personally. But when closing this bug
report, I just ask you to consider what I wrote in my previous comment:

"Wouldn't it be wise to add to the dialog a short version of the
explanation you just gave? Doing so might prevent some confusion for
less experienced developers like me."

Title:
  System program problem detected

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gdm

  Whether I do something or not after having launched a Natty session,
  after approx. 20 seconds the dialog "System program problem detected"
  is shown (attached as system-problem-dialog.png). No more information
  is given on the nature of the problem. A few days ago I clicked the
  "Report problem..." button and followed the instructions, which
  resulted in bug 718524.

  I attached the xsession-errors file, even if I can't tell if that info
  is useful.

  If there is an intention to show such problem alerts in 11.04, it's
  important IMO that they include more meaningful info.
