This bug was fixed in the package apport - 1.26-0ubuntu1
---------------
apport (1.26-0ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low
* New upstream release:
- backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Port to current python-apt API.
- hookutils.py: Fix path_to_key() to also work with unicode arguments.
- test/crash: Exit successfully if apport is not enabled in the system.
This allows packages to run the test suite during build.
- report.py, add_proc_info(): Correctly handle "python -m <modulename>"
programs as being interpreted and determine the appropriate module path.
- Fix some import statements to also work for the system-installed test
suite.
- test/run: Fix testing data/general-hooks/parse_segv.py when called in
system-installed mode.
- apport/ui.py: Clean up test .crash file after test cases.
- Fix tests when running as root.
- setup.py: Fix crash when "javac -version" fails.
- README: Update command for one-time enablement.
- backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Fix interleaving usage of
install_packages() with other operations such as get_version(), by
resetting the apt status after building and using the sandbox.
- report.py test suite: Remove requirement that $USER is set, which makes
it easier to run this from package build environments.
- apport/ui.py, test/crash: Use "yes" as test process instead of "cat".
The former is less likely to run already, and does not depend on having
a stdin, so it runs better in test environments like autopkgtest.
- backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Fix tests if system does not have a
dbgsym apt source.
- Ignore a crash if gnome-session is running and says that the session is
being shut down. These often die because X.org or other services are
going away, are usually harmless, and just cause a lot of clutter in bug
trackers. (LP: #460932)
- test/crash: Rewrite using Python's unittest, to be in line with other
tests, and be easier to maintain and extend.
* Add debian/tests/control and debian/tests/upstream-system:
DEP-8/autopkgtest control file for running the upstream tests.
* debian/control: Bump minimal Python version to 2.7, as the upstream trunk
is now moving to Python 3 compatibility; some of the new syntax does not
work with 2.6 yet.
* debian/control: Update apport-retrace package description, apport-chroot
is gone. Also drop the now obsolete Suggests.
* debian/rules: Run tests during package build, but do not let them fail the
build just yet. It will still take a while until all test suceed in the
buildd environment.
* debian/control: Add gdb and python-twisted-core build dependencies, so
that the test suite can succeed.
* debian/control: Move python-gobject and gir1.2-glib-2.0 dependencies from
apport-gtk to apport, as our generic.py hook needs it. Also add them to
build depends for the test suite.
* debian/control: Add missing lsb-release dependency, used by
Report.add_os_info().
* debian/control: Add net-books build dependency, test suite uses "route" to
determine whether or not to run the online tests.

Title:
Do not catch crashes which happen at logout
Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: apport
Since upgrading from Jaunty to Karmic (amd64), the system keeps
frequently informing me of application crashes shortly after almost
every startup. I'm getting reports on any number of applications
(pidgin, evince, thunderbird, npviewer, seahorse …). Never have I
actually witnessed any of those supposed crashes.
I suspect this might have something to do with applications that were
running when I last shut down the system: Most of the time the reports
appear on system startup, and most of them concern applications I know
I've had running during the last, but not yet during the current
session. I am however unable to reliably reproduce this by just
shutting down the system while these applications are running.
I'll be glad to provide any logfile or console output required.
