 Uncaught exceptions (i.e. those that end up in the logs) are always a sign
 of a software bug. So at least for the Sugar shell, we should inform the
 user something bad has happened and how to report it back to us, in order
 to get it fixed.

 [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport Apport] seems to do something similar.
 Haven't used it myself (neither as a developer nor as a user), though .
 I'm not proposing to use it, BTW, just presenting prior art for
 comparison.
 [http://library.gnome.org/devel/bug-buddy/stable/index.html.en Gnome Bug
 Buddy] probably is closer to what we want.
