I meant the part that decides what questions should be asked for a specific 
app/problem. Like the way call-centers work. If users sais 1 goto 1a, else 
goto 2a, that idea. It's not the most intelligent thing on earth, but at 
least it guides people through the process that way.

It is. But it might also be the most sophisticated. I wasn't thinking easy 
here, I was thinking the way a bug reporter would ideally work. Sorry if that 
was not your intention, though.

Ok, I'll contact Daniel for details on how to get this working in the current 
system.
Does anyone still have the old picture of Konqi from the crash handler in the 
early 2.0 beta's? I like it and maybe it can be integrated onto the web 
page...
