I think you missed Vincent's original email (either that or I
misunderstood it).  I believe he was talking about making g_critical()
calls result in crashes, not g_warning() calls.  So these examples
don't do what was proposed, though they are close (just use
"G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals" instead of "G_DEBUG=all", if I understand
correctly).
