Description Dennis 2007-05-13 08:53:15 UTC 
When a user launches an application, which happened to segfault; it dies silently, the user has no clue on what is goning on.
Instead the Gnome panel must show the user a report that an error occurred and a suitable description. That will definitely improve the user experience.
