Hi, you could potentially get corporate to spring for commercial software that can help with alleviating these issues (or build your own)
One approach could be monitoring approach, where Network Traffic gets analyzed and sessionized and you get alerted on events. Session data should allow the identification of users (that way you should be able to "look up" the user's session). The session page-flow could then give you URLs and POST/GET/Cookie/Header data. In conjunction you could utilize server-based deep dive diagnostics that provide contextual code-level execution for root cause analysis. Actually, this gets you half-way to have decent Application Performance Management (APM). Integrated into Business Service Management (BSM) it's fairly hot.
Another approach is an agent-based solution that allows the end user to interact with the agent to send you the last n amount of minutes with a high-level description (simultaneously recording the application on the server-tiers so that you later can do root cause analysis). This is an efficient approach, especially for internal users. This approach can also be leveraged during testing cycles by the Quality Assurance team.
I have some examples of commercial vendors, but am hesitant to post names to avoid being flamed:). Feel free to PM me for some suggestions.

Good luck.
