Bug#485968: bug-buddy: Doesn't know about any applications, doesn't exist in menus, can't configure it, JUST DOESN"T WORK

Package: bug-buddy
Version: 2.22.0+dfsg-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

     Iceweasel is now crashing several times a day, and each time bug-buddy comes up and tells me 
the application 'gecko' is unknown and so the information can't be filed.  I've tried starting it from
the command line with 'appname=firefox' or 'appname=iceweasel' but the same thing happens.  There is no man
page so no indication is given where the user might configure what applications _are_ known to bug-buddy.
Searched through the gnome and Debian menus and can't find bug-buddy.  Read about bug-buddy 'dialog' but
have no idea what to do in order to start such dialog, I think I remember configuring it once way back.

     Can't remove it without removing the entire gnome desktop environment.
