(I don't have a _reproducable_ crash, so for testing I've been
triggering one with "kill -SIGSEGV").
Hmm, it works fine now. Confusing. Maybe KDE only picked up the dbg
packages when I logged out or rebooted. Since it works for me now, I'm
happy to close the bug.
Do you think it's worth pursuing? I could have another go with the
LiveCD, and experiment with installing the dbg packages from my apt
cache. That would show whether it was necessary to log out or not.
Obviously I couldn't test rebooting :-).
My expectation is that installing the dbg packages should have an
immediate effect. It should be possible since the debug symbols are
only loaded when the crash happens. I think it makes sense from the
user POV. Also it should make it easier to report crashes without
having to worry about losing the state that causes the bug.
