Can the bug report dialog be made to send a user's email address together 
with the other information instead? Convenience for the user and for us, 
because those addresses are (less) likely to bounce. I will not entirely 
disable the email address editbox, so a user _CAN_ override it when needed 
though.
But can it be added?

Which reminds me of my previous question:
Is it possible to change the dialog to send the KDE distribution string 
('compiled sources' for us) and the application version (as opposed to the 
kde version) in separate arguments? It makes the filtering and processing for 
us much easier and less error-prone. If it really is impossible, I can make 
it work this way, but as we need to do version checking before accepting 
bugs, a split would be worthwhile.

And another request about the bug dialog: the current implementation gives 
little visual feedback when the user clicks on the link. I think that the 
dialog should be closed once the link is clicked. Otherwise, there should be 
another clue that we are responding to the click, I think.

Note: it may be possible that current kdelibs does exactly this as my version 
is now two days old, but I haven't seen something like this posted here in 
the list as a reply on my previous request. Therefore I assume it is not 
changed yet.
