Can Dr Konqi be reinvoked after closure?

Say that:

  1. I miss the notification,

  2. the OS crashes (due to an OOM, as is common), or

  3. DrKonqi just doesn’t catch it. [1]

Is there a way to reinvoke the bug report wizard, like I can in gnome-abrt?

I ask because it’s really convenient, in comparison to manually filing one.

There is also coredumpctl, drkonqi is a front-end for it.

coredumpctl debug APP_NAME_HERE -A "-ex bt -ex quit" |& tee backtrace.txt

@meven, indeed, as abrt nowadays mostly is. That’s what’s so frustrating; drkonqi-coredump-gui provides the 50% of coredumpctl’s functionality that drkonqi lacks, yet isn’t permitted to spawn a drkonqi instance! If gnome-abrt can do it, drkonqi can.

I know that my brother barely reports anything to KDE BZ, simply because if a crash happens at a busy time, he doesn’t want to report it right then and there, and manually doing so is quite a lot of work for the lay man.
