[Bug 311764] Drkonqi should disable the "Report Bug" button when no debugger is installed and thus no backtrace can be obtained.

--- Comment #2 from George Kiagiadakis <kiagiadakis.george at gmail.com> ---
I disagree. In general, the backtrace tab is meant to be used by developers
that want quick access to the backtrace. Normal users are meant to go directly
from the main screen to the "report bug" dialog. Now the "report bug" dialog
has a page where it generates a backtrace too. When users don't have the
debugger software installed (gdb on linux), it will prompt them at that point
to install it and reload the bactrace.

If you disable the "report bug" button, you will also need to have a visible
indication on the main screen of why it is disabled, which I find no better
than actually launching the dialog and being prompted there to install the
debugger.
