GNOME's bug-buddy can get this information when an application crashes. You have to specify something or other in the .desktop file. However, it does (and probably this idea too) require the debug symbols to be present, and most distros don't distribute the debug symbols. > But, I'll have to agree with the other Paul, wrapping code in > try/catch blocks is not the way to go (And is generally a Bad Idea). > > Hope that helps, -- Murray Cumming [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com _______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list
