Bug Description
# Preface:
I experienced this bug in update-notifier.
However, I think this might be a Gtk-wide problem.
# Description:
update-notifier has a problem and shows error message:
-------
-- System program problem detected
-- Do you want to report the problem now?
--
-- Cancel Report problem...
-------
(screenshot: https:/
This message does not state where it's from. The user does not know what is broken and what kind of help they should search for.
# Expected Behavior
The message should state that it's the update notifier which had a problem.
(Side note: It might probably also provide some optional details and explain what actually went wrong)
