I believe its not the stacktrace, but the coredump that you should be
checking.

I agree with this one.  Medium seems right.

In this case, I think the bug should be filed against google earth.  Also,
its not a package in ubuntu archives, so it should be invalid in the ubuntu
project and perhaps be filed under the mediubuntu project.

Low is right for this bug.

I do not think this bug can be set an importance.  The OP does not seem be
clear as to what happened and I'm not sure it can be reproduced.  Also
you're awaiting more information from the OP i.e. crash report.  Once you
actually know the cause of the bug, you can make a call on the importance.

Low is right here, but why didn't you forward the bug upstream yourself?  I
see that pedro forwarded it.

Overall, I'd say you're making good progress.  But, I'd -1 for now.  My
suggestion would be to look into upstreaming bugs when you are sure the
problem is upstream.  Don't jump into confirming the bug.  Triple check
everything before you actually confirm.
