I was able to work around the problem by defining and then installing
the following custom package into my profile:
--8<---cut here---start->8---
(define-public maru-vinagre
(package
(inherit vinagre)
(name "maru-vinagre")
(outputs '("out"))
(arguments
(append
(package-arguments vinagre)
'(#:strip-binaries? #f)
--8<---cut here---end--->8---
It does NOT add a debug output; instead, it simply disables the
stripping of binaries. GDB seems to be unhappy if I strip the symbols
and put them into the debug output. I guess maybe it's related to the
CRC mismatch mentioned above?
Anyway, here's a little more info about what was going on at the time of
the segmentation fault:

The backtrace makes it look like maybe the segfault occurred in gtk-vnc,
not vinagre itself, so I guess I'll need to customize more packages to
build more debug outputs and try again...
I'll keep poking at this as I get time. If anyone has any tips, I'd
really appreciate it.

I've also seen this before. My workaround was that I created a package
disabling strip-binaries. That worked well enough. I've also added -g3 to
flags, as I needed macro expansions in debug. If you find out anything
useful for the CRC mismatch thing thou, I would be really interested. That
would have saved me lot of time.

bug#30591: Vinagre segmentation fault - and gdb cannot find symbols?
Hi,
Recently, I've noticed that Vinagre segfaults when I initiate a
connection. To reproduce, try doing the following:
1) Install Vinagre.
2) Try to connect to a remote host.
3) Vinagre displays a black screen, and about 10-20 seconds later, it
crashes.
I've obtained a core dump, but it seems I can't get debug symbols from
it. I'm using a custom version that adds a "debug" output, and my
~/.gdbinit is set up according to what Guix recommends in its manual
((guix) Installing Debugging Files). What do I need to do to get gdb to
give me useful information?
Example debugging session follows:
--8<---cut here---start->8---
[0] marusich@garuda.local:~/debug-vinagre
$ cat ~/.gdbinit
# Tell GDB where to look for separate debugging files.
set debug-file-directory ~/.guix-profile/lib/debug
# Let GDB auto-load any files it needs.
set auto-load safe-path /
