In that case, why not have it append the stack trace to some file in /usr/share/gimp or whatnot and then exit quietly unless some environment variable is set appropriately? Hmm.. that is interesting... 's' did never produce a stackdump on my machine :=) The problem is that this whole thing is terribly annoying when I'm running the Gimp in the background (I usually run it from a shell as (gimp&) so I don't accidentally foreground it, and I'm sure a lot of people run it off a desktop menu of some sort -- those people have nowhere to type 's' into). -- Robert Krawitz <rlk@xxxxxxxxxxxx> http://www.tiac.net/users/rlk/ Tall Clubs International -- http://www.tall.org/ or 1-888-IM-TALL-2 Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- mail lpf@xxxxxxxxxxxx "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton
