I just tried that, and after the setting you mentioned
above, the Problem Report does actually create a proper
ticket, whereas the user interface is still the standard
Problem Report one.

Well, I haven't succeeded in getting it going properly, I get DB errors
and Ticket not found (despite the fact that they're there in the db).

If you wouldn't mind sharing, I'd be interested in how you built
the rpm. We build our own rpm's as well (SuSE Linux 10.1), but
obviously, I've done something wrong with the whups part.
