apport-collect fails: I get all the way through a web session, where I
loig into launchpad openid via lynx, authorize apport to collect the
data, and then get this:


No REFERER Header

   Launchpad requires a REFERER header to perform this action. There is no
   REFERER header present. This can be caused by configuring your browser
   to block REFERER headers.

No clue how to fix that by hand, so I try apport-bugs instead. That also
fails, here's the full session:

*** Problem in xorg

The problem cannot be reported:

The running kernel is not an Ubuntu kernel

Press any key to continue...

root@blackspot:~#

FWIW, I'm not running an ubuntu kernel, for two reasons:
1) I'm a kernel developer, this is my area of expertise, and 
2) Ubuntu has never-ever done RAID correctly, and so I've had to run a custom kernel just to get RAID to work.

----------
Yes, I have proprietary nvidia drivers installed. I explained this above. Physically removing the nvidia card does not alter the behaviour.  I am planning on eventually having a multi-head setup, running both the matrox and the nvidia at the same time; first step is to get mga to work. (nvidia works fine)

Will post xrandr output shortly; I've looked at this before, it looked
fine.
