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).
