You can do something like:

  strace -s 9999 -o strace.txt tuxpaint

Then after it crashes, we can examine the 'strace.txt' output file.


For GDB debugging, you could do something like this:

  $ make clean
  $ make DEBUG_FLAGS=-g
  $ gdb tuxpaint
  (gdb) run

Then, when it crashes, you can try doing "bt" to display a backtrace
(display the program stack), and we can begin tracking down where it crashed.

Thx!
