> What's the problem with running it under GDB?

Nothing, except that it takes minutes just to get the app to start (lldb is a
bit faster on my Mac) and it takes up gobs of additional RAM. That's OK when I
need actual debugger functionality like stepping through code or examining
variables. It's not feasible as a general runtime environment just to obtain a
backtrace. Esp. when you're rebuilding and restarting the app over an over
again to test tweaks like the standalone dockwidget (= how I spent much of my
yesterday).

My main reason for contributing is that I use the application (which is what I
try to do between patch revision procedures), and that it's a priori more
efficient to get my modifications upstreamed instead of maintaining a fork that
will inevitably become too much to handle.
