Bug Description

the categories offered to describe the type of problem to be reported, offered by apport upon invoking "report a problem" for rhythmbox are not useful in their present form.
(screenshot of the message window attached)

the interface is not working correctly
no sound is being played
some audio files are not being played correctly

the problem categories presented appear to be quite random, not specifically typical for rhythmbox users to report obviously.

a better categorization would be for example:

problems with sound
the interface has an error
other problems

the entropy of uncategorisable errors can easily be contained within "other problems", while users and developers should contribute ideas for problem categories collaboratively somewhere on launchpad perhaps.

this is where userworld meets developement process, let's do this right my friends!

The ui is constructed by the rhythmbox package hook which isn't part of apport.

    - Only prompt user to specify type of bug if it isn't a crash.
      (I.e., if there is no stacktrace present.)
