Bug Description

When working with a python application, I often get "The application has closed unexpectedly", even though it didn't close and is still running. (the app in question is gnome-activity-journal)

Attached is the crash file of this happening.

I've asked Michal to file this. Presumably we could check if the process ID is still present, and if so, reword the dialog to match the recoverable error dialog:
