I would try to install gdb and iceweasel-dbg, and then start it with "iceweasel -g". That should bring up the debugger when it crashes. Typing "bt" should then give you a backtrace. (You might have to install some additional *-dbg packages to get a meaningful backtrace, for example libgtk2.0-0-dbg, libglib2.0-0-dbg, libc6-dbg, libstdc++6-dbg.) -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
