I want to hijack this thread, as it is similar to what I find annoying (but for 
a totally different reason). I have an account, but sometimes I hack around at 
other peoples machines. I usually don't have my credential there and I don't 
even want to put them on this machines. But when I see a crash I would like to 
have Dr. Konqi to be able to tell me if this is a dupe or not. If it is I 
could just dump the trace and go on, if it is not I could still save it and 
report it back at home. Currently I need to log in before it is able to find 
dupes, which is IMHO not necessary as the information in public.

Greetings,

Eike
