This is a bit tricky to solve. The bug reporting window explains that
you should only attach the report if the program does not deal with
sensitive data, but of course this does not make it clear that this
covers the environment as well (and it is too hard to explain, too).

Maybe I should leave out the environment completely or just filter out
some interesting stuff like $SHELL, $PATH, $LANGUAGE, and $LANG. These
are the only interesting and insensitive variables that come to my mind
right now.
