--- Comment #3 from Harald Sitter <sitter at kde.org> ---
That is really out of scope for drkonqi IMO. For persistent crash tracking I
think one should look at system-level solutions such as coredumpd, apport or
abrt.
Drkonqi is, at its heart, a tool to report a crash with. Not a tool to manage
crash reports and record them on disk in some directory that is safe enough,
yet accessible enough, and do so in a time frame so as to not inhibit
logout/shutdown whatever. And the only value we'd have from this is a
**chance** at getting crash reports happening at logout or during otherwise
fatal incidents (X11 deadlock or whatever). Poor return on investment if you
ask me.

Maybe, and that's a big maybe, drkonqi could be glued on top of an
aforementioned solution, but even that seems also largely moot. Both apport and
abrt already have GUIs and coredumpd is currently not really designed around
having a GUI stacked on top.
