compiz could really use an apport package hook

Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz

A lot of compiz bug reports are rather incomplete as we don't even know what video card a bug reporter has in their system. An apport package hook would help gather more information regarding the reporter's hardware and make the bug easier to triage and more informative.

I've written one that gathers /var/log/Xorg.0.log, attach_hardware() and ~/.xsession-errors. All of these bits are asked for in http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingCompiz.
