Package: libgtk1
Version: 1.0.0-1

The gdk lib shouldn't be catching and not core dumping on signals.
IMO it's not the job of the library to do this.  However that is it's
current behavior, so the patch below keeps that behavior unless an
environment var (G_DO_CORE (please change the name if you think of a
better one)) is set.  Then it will call abort like normal. (patch is
from development tree, so it may not apply cleanly)
