the problem now is interface clutter I don't know where to put the
different options. currently the settings are available in user
preferences  to either always send, never send and always ask with the
default to always ask. however let us consider that the user is using
the default value of always ask. when the small error notification
appears he may want to do any of the multiple options outlined below
- see the report and add steps leading to the report before sending it
- send the report without looking at it
- ignore the error report

and also somewhere I have to give him the option to always send error
reports without asking or to never do that. where should these be
placed in the current scenario given that I do not want to have 5
buttons or checkboxes on the small error notification.
