Bug Description

Binary package hint: amarok

Release: edgy, ubuntu (using GNOME)

To reproduce this bug:

start amarok -> play some music -> close the amarok window -> shutdown amarok from the tray icon -> restart amarok

You should receive a blank dialog with the header "Could not Launch Mail Client".

You have to force the dialog to close and rerun amarok to get it working again.

What's actually going on here is that Amarok is crashing and then trying to send a bug report with the crash info. Unfortunately, at the moment this doesn't work well because Amarok tries to send the report via email to kmail, which is a setting that is unconfigurable. I'm therefore marking this bug a duplicate of bug 90404, which is that bug exactly.
