Is there a way to generate a decent looking report with the /var/share/apport/*.crash files?
If not, how does one get a hold of the details regarding a past system error?

The apport-unpack command will output human readable files into a directory provided a .crash file and the name of a directory.
apport-unpack /var/crash/_usr_lib_gnome-settings-daemon_gnome-settings-daemon.1000.crash /home/surgemcgee/gnome_crash
And after you unpack it, run gdb to backtrace it.
gdb pathToYourBinaryWhichCrashed CoreDump
then:
bt
to see backtrace.
Note: CoreDump needs to be binary file in unpacked files directory from apport-unpack.
