I also experienced this dialog box after aborting a upgrade of
Virtualbox (looked in /var/crash/). For a few days now I have just
canceled the box since it asked for my password without telling what it
was needing it for.

Resolve this issue by
- Explaining, in the dialog box attached in the initial report here at launchpad, why this message is appearing
- Explain what is in the report (or tell the user where the report is located)
- Explain what will happen to the report
- Cancel should delete the file or tell the user it could not and tell it what file to delete

The dialog box used today has REALLY bad usability.

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.
