Type 'gdb gnucash', then when you get the gdb prompt type 'run'.  If
you normally invoke gnucash with some command-line arguments, include
those after 'run'.  For example, if you want to run gnucash with the
--debug option, you would type "run --debug" at the gdb prompt.

Use gnucash normally (it will be a bit slow to come up), then when you
get the segmentation fault you will get another gdb prompt.  Type
"backtrace" at that prompt, and send the results to the mailing list.

If you have some trouble with X not being able to change windows, you
may have to change to a virtual console and kill the gdb process; this
can happen if the crash happens in a modal dialog.  If your window
manager supports hotkeys to change the window focus (like sawfish) you
can usually use the hotkeys inthis situation, and then everything will
be normal again after you type "quit" to gdb.
