apport-gtk crashed with --- in _request()

I can confirm this bug. This is the output I got:
apport-collect -p linux 518034
/usr/share/themes/Human/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:85: Murrine configuration option "gradients" is no longer supported and will be ignored.

Same problem after install, I brought that shows me the report and when I did send her to me indicates a problem

crash report found into /var/crash, own by root and not reported by apport (silent crash), on Lucid A3 updated.

A crash report to look at - done by running

$ apport-collect 426415

Affects me. Might only occur during the initial authorisation exchange with Launchpad. I didn't see the fault when I re-ran apport-collect once authorisation has happened.

Martin, this bug consistently prevents bug reporters from running 'apport-collect' when we need them to. I think we need to get this fixed for lucid.

This is ultimately bug 336866, but I'll try to work around it.

trunk r1731

This bug was fixed in the package apport - 1.13.1-0ubuntu1

---------------
apport (1.13.1-0ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * New upstream bug fix release:
    - Update parse-segv to handle gdb 7.1 output.
    - Enhance test suite to work with gdb 7.1 as well, and catch future
      outputs.
    - UI: Add exception string to the "network error" dialog, to better tell
      what the problem is.
    - UI: Add back -p option to apport-collect/apport-update-bug (regression
      from 1.13). (LP: #538944)
    - launchpad.py: Add yet another workaround for LP#336866. (LP: #516381)
    - launchpad.py, download(): Ignore attachments with invalid key names.
    - Fix regression from 1.10 which made it impossible for a package hook to
      set a third-party crash database for non-native packages. (LP: #517272)
    - apport-cli: Create the 'details' string only if user wants to view
      details, and do not show files larger than 1MB. Thanks Scott Moser!
      (LP: #486122)
    - packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Silence apt.Cache() spewage to stdout with newer
      python-apt versions. (LP: #531518)
    - unkillable_shutdown: Add list of running processes and blacklisted pids
      to report. (LP: #537262)
    - Sort the report by key in the details view. (LP: #519416)

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Move ubiquity's package-hook into apport, so that it can be used
    from the installed system to grab the logs in /var/log/installer.
