Public bug reported:
When apport attempts to report a user-level crash, it opens Launchpad in
the default browser (firefox) and all is fine.
However, should a system-level crash occur, once I've typed in my
administrator password apport will attempt to open Launchpad using the
links2 browser (in graphics mode).
I have not checked whether links2 is being run as root, but if so, this
is presumably a serious security hole (I will make sure to check this
with the next system-level crash that occurs).
Ubuntu version: 13.10
