[Bug 65971] Re: Gnome 2.16 crashes after loading some apps

[Luca Falavigna]

It would be very useful if you can attach a backtrace of it. In order to do so, you can login in a virtual console and launch the following command:
gdb /usr/bin/gnome-session -p pid_of_your_gnome-session

Once you reach gdb prompt, type the following instructions:
handle SIGKILL nopass stop print
handle SIGQUIT nopass stop print
cont

Now you can use your GNOME session normally and, when crash occours, you can switch to the virtual console and obtain a backtrace with the following instructions:
backtrace
info regs
thread apply all backtrace

Those informations will be very useful to triage this bug.
