YES. Especially with the grabbed mouse.

Since the only advantage of this is the stack-trace for non-developers, why don't we just have it dump stack, then die, by default, unless you're running it under GDB or with a --do-annoying-stack-trace-crap option? I usually launch GIMP from a button, although nowadays I am actually running xterm -iconic -e gimp, so that when it dies I can just kill the xterm.
