I played with a f7-test3 live CD for a few minutes and had the power
statistics app crash.  Bug buddy allowed me to send a bug report to
the gnome folks which they said was more or less useless in this case
because there were no debugging symbols.  They asked me to get a stack
trace with debugging symbols, but I think the automatic bug reporting
process should be fixed to allow developers to get useful stack traces
without having users jump through hoops.

Does Fedora have a way to turn a stack trace from an app in a release
into useful debugging info for the developer?

They mentioned that Ubuntu is working toward a better solution with
their Apport ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport ) system.  Does Fedora
have something similar?


FYI, this particular bug report history is at:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=425384
