I think version 1.0 turned it off explicitly. I'm surprised the Gnome 2
version still does this. I'd be happy to remove it.

On the other hand, I don't think that stack traces with "it died" are bug
reports. In previous projects, we had a separate "crash report" database
that was good at automatically detecting duplicates, then we'd make bug
reports from that. But as long as you are handling the bug reports as they
come in, not me, I don't really care.

At the moment, the Nautilus bugs are still too numerous and disorganized to
help me in my work, but that might get better eventually.
