I don't mind being notified about system programs that SEGV -- I would actually like to report those cases, so this is not a duplicate of Getting “System program problem detected” pops up regularly after upgrade.

However, I spend quite a lot of time writing bad C code and I get segfaults from my own userspace programs quite often, and I'd like to stop seeing "System program problem detected" for my own, non-system applications.

Is this possible, or does Apport just watch init's children for SIGSEGV and pop up on any segfault?

I've noticed this was fixed since I asked this question on Ubuntu 16.10. Userspace programs that weren't installed from a package and don't have a signed .desktop file associated with them no longer issue a dialogue like this.

This answer can't really apply to older versions of Ubuntu, though I would still be interested to know the answer for older versions.
