Benjamin has been working on a logging window that a user can launch from the GUI. Obviously this won't help much for when Gnash segfaults. In that case it would be really cool if there were a segfault handler that submits a stacktrace to us. But I don't know if that last part should be up to the distribution -- some already have that -- or if we should take care of that within Gnash.

Hmmm.... I'm wondering if we ought to have the plugin write a shell script to /tmp/gnash-plugin.sh which runs gnash -vv and the rest of the parameters in a standalone environment. Just one small file, when the plugin gets requested to render something. That would be the only thing it writes by default, so the School Linux folks who are having a problem with gnash writing too much stuff to the X server log file, wouldn't. If we do that, we could easily tell people "Run /tmp/gnash-plugin.sh" when they have a problem. It would take care of sending email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or somesuch place). It would also give people, currently frustrated, something to do which would be successful. -- --my blog is at http://blog.russnelson.com | Unregulation is a slippery Crynwr sells support for free software | PGPok | slope to prosperity and 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-323-1241 | freedom.
