--- Comment #2 from Jekyll Wu <adaptee at gmail.com> ---
Well, there are some issues to solve/consider prior to this "bt full" change,
if it is ever going to happen.

1. DrKonqi now uses GdbHightligheter class to highlight backtrace obtained from
gdb, and that means switching to "bt full" makes drkonqi itself crash for me
when showing the backtrace.

2. using "bt full" will significantly increase the size of the backtrace and
thus the report, which makes bug 248807 more likely to be triggered. 

3. For searching duplicate, I don't think using "bt full"  is a good news.

In general, I'm skeptical of the benefit of using "bt full" as default. Maybe
drkonqi can ask gdb to generate two backtraces, and send the "bt full" one as
one additional attachment.
