Re: [orca-list] pidgin crashing randomly when restarting orca

[Tyna Pelletier-Bilodeau <ecole tyna gmail com>]

Hi again,
at the risk of sounding dumb *grins*, how can I get a full backtrace ? 
Do I need to run pidgin in gdb and wait till the crash happens ? Cause 
this crash is really hard to reproduce, sometimes it will happen, 
sometimes not. If I have to, I will, I just hoped this core dump could 
be more useful than that
Thanks !
