Bug Description

I can't use the apport reporting because I no longer have a working browser.

There are not window borders or controls in unity.

Unity gives all sorts of bugs

I have to use a recovery console and konqueror to send this.

Up until this morning everything was working great... this was a bad day to be using a beta version.

llibcanberra was one of the morning updates, I suspect the problem may lie there. Running firefox with sudo still works and does not generate the error, is there a way to get apport reports working through this route, or by shunting it somehow through konqueror?
