example libreport window stuck and non-responsive

Description of problem:
If anaconda crashes when showing some modal dialog (for example "reclaim space" dialog), the libreport window that pops up can't be operated. It is not possible to click on any of its buttons, nothing happens. 

This is reproducible on both Live and DVD media. I don't know of any workaround.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
F23 Alpha
anaconda-23.17-1.fc23.x86_64
libreport-2.6.2-2.fc23.x86_64
gtk3-3.17.5-1.fc23.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run anaconda, go e.g. to partitioning and make sure the "reclaim dialog" pops up (or any other dialog)
2. run "kill -USR1 `cat /var/run/anaconda.pid`" from console to make anaconda crash
3. get back to anaconda, libreport window pops up, but can't be operated

This is a conditional violation of
"The installer must be able to report failures to Bugzilla, with appropriate information included."
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_23_Alpha_Release_Criteria#failure-reporting

It does not affect all crashes, but it does affect some crashes (any time there is an open dialog). Proposing as a blocker, either Beta or Final.

dropping blocker/commonbugs metadata as it's all on the dupe.
