Hi, You can find some debugging information in the file ~/.xsession-errors In addition, if you run these programs from the terminal, you normally get some extra messages. If you want to start reporting bugs at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/ it is good to make sure you have a standard system (fresh installation or installation with no invasive changes in the GNOME desktop). You can find existing bug reports so you can see if some issues are already reported. For every GNOME application, you can run them with file-roller --help You will notice other options, such as "--sync", which helps when debugging. You can also install the debugging support packages for the core GNOME libraries, so that any stack traces you get, will have more precise information, that will help to find the source or report to GNOME Bugzilla. For example, the GTK+ library comes from the libgtk2.0 package, and by installing the "-dbg" version (here, libgtk2.0-0-dbg), your stack traces will be more informational.
