Oh, that's good to know, thanks. I'll update the wiki. What versions of 
Fedora should that work for?

[snip a bazillion packages]

For debugging Geary, glib2 gtk3 debug symbols are the most important, 
webkitgtk symbols are usually handy as well, but that consumes a lot of 
disk space and memory. Things like rhythmbox's symbols are definitely 
not needed.

It's weird that gdb is complaining about it, but it's probably 
Fedora-specific since that doesn't happen under Ubuntu/Debian.
