Hello Tom, > In a shell (existing gnome-terminal or xterm) > # ulimit -c 100000 > # strace -f -o /tmp/trace-gnome-terminal /usr/bin/gnome-terminal This is a good idea, although it still doesn't explain how to enable core dumps for X in general. But I will be starting my sessions to the SUSE server like this the coming time. > I did this and noted that gnome-terminal attempts to catch > most interesting signals. The latest glibc update cured the funny resize behaviour I saw before (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=113284). Although that might seem like a good thing the problem is that this will probably make the crash to be more difficult to reproduce... > So next I took a chance and looked for help "/usr/bin/gnome-terminal --help" > "/usr/bin/gnome-terminal --usage" and I noticed these flags that may help. Hadn't thought yet of running gnome-terminal with different flags yet. I will look into that. > Perhaps "--disable-crash-dialog" is being remembered for some reason > by your desktop. I seem to recall a dialog box 100 years ago.... If that is the option that would cause the "report a bug" (ie crash) dialog to disappear, then no, I do get such a dialog, but I find it rather useless. It doesn't seem to gather any system information by itself, certainly no core dumps, so I prefer browsing to http://bugzilla.redhat.com . Bye, Leonard.
