Bug Description

Binary package hint: apport

I am affected by this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/417842

it triggers on every login and every time the computer wakes from sleep... apport prompts to report the bug, but upon closing (or reporting the bug), apport comes back up with the same bug over and over...

in this case i counted 6 (six) istances of the apport dialog about the same bug... before it kept quiet at last

avoiding to offer reporting the same bug over multiple sessions may be nice (this of course, only if the user already got through the hurdle to send the bug to launchpad by opening the bug-report page in the browser ); but even recognizing the same bug and avoid prompting about it several times in rapid succession could be a welcome improvement
