Bug Description

When something crashes and bug-buddy pops up, it displays the crashed program name during the "collecting information" stage but doesn't at the final user-input stage. The user needs to display detail and parse the gdb output to see what crashed.

Once or twice I've had a crash with a number of different applications open and wasn't immediately sure which app had crashed. It's rather odd to get a dialog asking what I was doing when the application crashed and not knowing which it's asking about!

i am able to confirm this. Im changing it to wish list because i think that set up was done that way purposely.
