Description Daniel M. Weeks 2012-01-25 17:43:10 UTC 
bug-buddy does not build libgnomesegvhandler for gtk-3. This means any application using gtk-3 will issue the following and not handle crashes nicely:

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gnomesegvhandler"

It appears a working patch was implemented in the gnome overlay but never moved to the main tree.

Reproducible: Always

As the author of that patch, I can assure you it was experimental, very much unfinished, and unsuitable for inclusion in the main tree.

Bug-buddy appears to be an abandoned project. Unless upstream suddenly decides to restart its development, I suggest using app-admin/abrt.

Thank you for the information. I opened this bug mostly as a suggestion and I understand your position completely.

I've never seen anything ugly-fail due to a lack of bug-buddy. Interestingly enough it was a GTK-3-only application that complained. Also, for the record, your patch seems to work exactly as it should.

People need to use abrt with gnome3
