Apport hook attaches private data, but does not mark bug private

i am not sure how serious this is. maybe the apport hook should anonymize the attachments instead of making it private. Patches welcome!

I also don't feel it's very serious since for example SSIDs are generally broadcasted, but this is still an issue, and I rather give the users a way to not add this information (with a strong recommendation to still add it):

    try:
        response = ui.yesno("You can also include scan results and "
            "configuration parameters which may greatly help in diagnosing "
            "the issue you are seeing. However, it may contain sensitive "
            "information. Do you want to include these?")

        if response:
            report['Gconf'] = command_output(['gconftool-2','-R','/system/networking'])
            report['Keyfiles'] = command_output(['ls -l','/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/'])
            # nm-tool happens to give a good snapshot of the client's state, so try to capture this
            report['NMTool'] = command_output(['nm-tool'])
    except:
        pass

I guess the exact wording can be reworked but the idea is there. Marking In Progress since I should be uploading this shortly.

What was more concerning that the SSID info was the VPN info.

That will be included in the same question: it's retrieved from the information in Gconf.

The language of the question should mention that as well then :)

Now in NM packaging branch, I'm about to upload a fix. I updated the wording to specifically mention Gconf keys and such.

This bug was fixed in the package network-manager - 0.8.3+git.20101219t181118.e919218-0ubuntu2
