This would be extremely useful. I've had PyGTK segfault on me a number
of times in an app I'm writing and I keep meaning to try get to the
bottom of the issue but it happens infrequently and somehow I never
get around to it. Some indictation of what Python was executing when
the segfault occurred would help narrow now the possibilities rapidly.
