In stable GARNOME, --disable-debug has been the default for quite a
while now.

Welcome to assert country, did you find the file chooser or the
preferences window crashes yet :) .

Some of the guys in #garnome on IRC helped me track this one down --
basically, glib and gtk+ are compiled with --enable-debug=minimum and
evolution, e-d-s, libsoup and gtkhtml are compiled with --enable-debug.

(gal doesn't seem to care if it's got debugging on or not)

If you want to see the thought processes I used for turning debugging
off, check patches 47-49 from my arch repo.
