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.

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...

Hadn't thought yet of running gnome-terminal with different flags yet. I
will look into that.

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.
