We can investigate about that, I guess that the source filename could
be parsed and launched (if it exists locally), I'm not sure if there
is an option to open on a certain line (using an agnostic "editor
launcher" (kate may not be available, kwrite should be, or another
one))

There is no way to get the progress of the backtrace fetching so we
use the "dancing block" (min=0/max=0) progress bar. If you have some
other idea on how we could show "progress"/"busy state" please tell
us. About it being tall, I think this is style related (I actually
force its width to the minimum, but I'm not really sure about the
height.. it may be the default one...). I'm going to look at it.

I guess this should be easy to do.

Yes, this is because the "<command>" KUIT tag. Not sure what to do
about it ..., just , avoid it ?

Thanks!. We need to explain all this process to new users that get a
crash so it has lots of help everywhere :)
