It would be an easy fix if the assertion message printed the backtrace
of the apps calling in glib.

I wonder if the system packages are compiled in RelWithDbgInfo by
default, so that a stacktrace would be useful in release for fixing bugs
like this. I wonder if there's a way to extend G_DEBUG with a "slient-
stacktraces" option that would report a core file to the system on each
critical/warning, because I assume it's in Ubunutu's best interests to
fix all of these they can, but of course you don't want all the apps
crashing, so G_DEBUG=fatal-criticals doesn't seem it will work.

(Very much a newbie to Ubuntu and GNOME, just wondering...)
