Right. Getting a backtrace is easy with plain gdb btw:

gdb appname (or even .libs/appname)
run [add any arguments, if you want]
*crash*
bt

Use "print" to inspect variables.

BTW, I recently tried out kdbg and found it to be not the very best tool. It 
was unable to re-run a command after running it once (so I had to restart it, 
add all breakpoints and reconfigure all those windows again and again) and it 
also crashed a few times.

Much better was Gideon's debugger.
