I would guess that a 'Repair Permissions' from Disk Utility would 'fix' the permission change (thus undoing the hint) as well.

I'm not sure why you say there's no way not to send the report to apple in 10.6. I see an 'ignore' button when the problem reporter first comes up and a 'don't send' button if you click the 'report' button in the first pane.
Plus, if you're running your app under development from xcode the way you probably should be, it ought to catch all your crashes in the debugger rather than letting them get as far as Problem Reporter launching. And for apps that you aren't developing, Problem Reporter is an infrequent visitor, and provides some useful functionality when it does appear.

I think this doesn't just affect Objective-C XCode development. I have had the Problem Reporter pop up from segmentation faults in simple command line C programs that I have written. It can be useful to have the traceback pop up like that (you have to enable gdb when compiling), but you don't want to send that junk to Apple.

If you have XCode installed, you should have Crash Reporter Prefs in /Developer/Applications/Utilities/. Open this up and set the option to 'Server' mode, which says it will never display the Unexpectedly Quit dialog.

I can't imagine OSX liking/working best if you disable the executable bit on the app itself to be a good idea. I didn't try this nor feel inclined to really test the overall effect because if your desire is to get no report at all, Apple has an option for the 'server' mode, where you only get a log of the crash itself (rather handy) but no dialog: Apple has a specific app in the Developer Tools for this at CrashReporterPrefs. As mentioned right above and known for quite some time, this does nothing more than modify the global value for com.apple.CrashReporter's dialogtype. This can be modified through the obvious GUI tools or via the terminal.

How to disable from OS X help. Also from my experience it is not enabled by default, but upon the first crash it defaults to allowing itself automatically in the future.

Turning off automatic problem reporting

If you've set up automatic problem reporting, you can turn it off at any time.

Open Console, located in the Utilities folder.
Open Console
Choose Console > Preferences.
In Console preferences, click Reset.

In Lion, all you need to do is go to:
System Preferences>Security & Privacy> Privacy. And un-check the box that says 'Send Diagnostic and Usage Data to Apple'
But I assume it may be different for Snow Leopard.
