Almost all dialogs crash without G_SLICE=always-malloc here.

I’ve been fighting with gimp’s internal functionality that catches crashes and prints stack traces. I just can’t seem to turn it off. gimp --stack-trace-mode=never doesn’t seem to work.

Because of that, apport doesn’t detect the crashes and using gdb is difficult.

I haven’t tried to valgrind gimp yet, but i’d guess gimp’s crash catching hinders even its reports.

(Since Ubuntu is using apport, perhaps the crash catching functionality should be turned off by default.)
