Description Jaap A. Haitsma 2008-01-17 20:19:56 UTC 
I've read that this is possible and I believe that gnome-power-manager might use this.
It would save us many "Can you run cheese -v" questions
Comment 1 daniel g. siegel 2008-01-17 20:32:16 UTC 
what about a guide how to report bugs?
Comment 2 Jaap A. Haitsma 2008-01-18 12:43:52 UTC 
It can help a little, but people tend not to read manuals and guides
Comment 3 daniel g. siegel 2008-01-18 12:52:36 UTC 
you are right. so it would be nice to have our log handler storing the message, regardless if "-v" is set in .gnome2/cheese/log and attach that on bug buddy reports
