If you have the crash dialog, you have a GNOME app not a
a plain GTK+ app, soit's offtopic for this list, even if this list 
was for questions about programming with GTK+ :-)

(export GNOME_DISABLE_CRASH_DIALOG=1 is probably what you want,
though really, attaching to the process with 'gdb program pid'
is at least as good as debugging a core dump in most cases.
And the crash dialog helpfully has the pid in it.)
