I have removed the existing 4 or 5 tabpages which are not visible in the
product but which are blockers to completing the removal of the old
style dialogs.

That is neither pro or against automated crash collection or reporting
in general. It's just setting out that if we go down that route and need
new dialogs then they'll have to be written in the new .ui format and
not reuse the out of date hidden .src ones.

All of which sounds good, but in the interim one could mine the
publically available crash info from e.g.
http://retrace.fedoraproject.org/ and the other distros where equivalent
is available and e.g. determine the top 3 or so biggies and determine
reproducible scenarios for them.
