If Nautilus crashes, the alert should say "The application Nautilus has closed unexpectedly." <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ErrorTracker#app-crash> If the internal error alert appears instead, please report that as a separate bug.

The internal error alert is for OS components that are not applications. These are the sort of component where, if its name was shown by default in the error alert, it would very likely be the only time a user had ever seen that name. Therefore, it would far more often be distracting than informative; hardly anyone confronted with the error would know what "postfix" meant, for example.

If you do want to know the name of the program, it should take one click, "Show Details". <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ErrorTracker#details> I don't think one click is unnecessarily hard.
