[gconfd] Remove (worse than) useless signal handlers for SEGV, FPE, etc (2.64 KB, patch)

Description Colin Walters 2010-02-01 18:03:51 UTC 
Modern operating systems like Fedora tend to include system-wide crash handlers
(like ABRT) which operate by processing unhandled crashes (signals such as
SIGSEGV).  By catching SIGSEGV but actually doing nothing with it, GConf is breaking
these crash handlers.

Delete all of the handlers for signals like SIGFPE, SIGSEGV which can't
be treated as recoverable.
