Nice dialog.

According bug reports:

It would be nice to have a standard bug report form that can be opened
by two ways: from within the about dialog, and directly from the help
menu. The later is IMO necessary because it should be easy for users
to find it.

How should such a bug report form work?

I would present the user a form that has for
* Program name
* Program version
* Kde-Version (?)
* Severity
* Bug description
* ...

And two buttons to submit: one that sends the report directly, and one
that fires up the users mail client containing the bug report ..... 

Hmm.... that brings me to the point that kmail does not support this
yet ;-)

Kind regards,
Stefan
