I considered to patch DrKonqi for doing that a long time ago, but I dropped 
the idea because it's not reliable. First, the grepping for this particular 
string is no more portable beyond gdb than the use of 'backtrace full', but 
second and more important, system libraries like glibc can result in the same 
message, even when kdelibs and the apps have debug symbols.

I have never tried to come up with a heuristic to reliably detect 'useful' 
backtraces, but I'm afraid it will be hard to do.
