Bug Description

Add a menu entry in the main menu which allows the user to report bugs in launchpad.

Emgent has some code to share. Please attach a proof of concept here.

Also we shuold investigate the additional dependencies this feature would require and make sure to find a way to make them optional (we don't want to depend on apport or similar packages, but only suggest their use if they're present on the user's system)

This Example need python-launchpad-bugs:

import launchpadbugs.connector as Connector
import glob

  # launchpad sending bug ...
  bug = Connector.ConnectBug(method="HTML")
  bug.authentication = glob.glob(os.path.expanduser("~/.mozilla/firefox/*/cookies.sqlite")).pop()
  # opening report file for reading
  reportFile = open(reportFilename, 'r')
  # creating bug

Nice.
Grabbing user cookie is not acceptable, even if it seems to be the practice of other projects.
We also could look to Leonov code. http://launchpad.net/leonov it asks you for launchpad login.

Another note: this code brings a dependancy with it. We shuold wrap everything with try/except and hide the menu entry if the dependency is not there.

- We really need to forward the user's /etc/apache2 (asking for permission first) as a tarball.
- we shuold pay attention not embed private information in the bug msg body, as comments can't be deleted in launchpad, right now. Attachments *can* be deleted.

How to attach things.
