trunk r2746 now does not produce popups any more at the start of the
desktop session which concern crashes from ealier sessions. You can
still manually report them by double-clicking on the .crash, or running
apport-{cli,gtk,kde} on the .crash file, but they won't pop up
automatically any more. That might lose us some reports that happen on
logout, but quite frankly they are uninteresting/unimportant enough to
not warrant the "annoy users" price that we have to pay for that right
now.

Bug description:
Multiple people are reporting that Apport shows an error alert, after
login, for errors that occurred in the previous Ubuntu session.
For example, Sebastien Bacher <https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives
/ubuntu-release/2012-August/001674.html>, Dylan McCall
<https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-
release/2012-August/001684.html>, and Oliver Grawert
<https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-
release/2012-August/001691.html>.
This shouldn't happen. If Ubuntu logs out or restarts *because* of a
crash (e.g. an Xorg crash), it's reasonable to explain why that
happened at next login. But it isn't useful to do that when the logout
or shutdown was intentional.
Instead, we should collect those error reports and send them at the
same time as the next error that does deserve explanation.
