With my proposed design it's two clicks to submit, then another
click to dismiss the error message. Probably I should simplify it
further.
I've just changed the design to require one click rather than three.

Would it not be possible for the user to opt in, and then have the
reports submitted silently in the background on behalf of the user
without bothering them at all?
Ubuntu has always had the problem that if a program with a window
crashes, the window just disappears with no explanation. The error
reporting system fixes that too -- but only if it shows up for each crash.
For internal (i.e. thread) errors, it may make sense to give the option
of sending them in the background. Or it may make sense to aggregate
them by time, for example no more than two per hour, no more than three
per Ubuntu session. Or both.
