Shouldn't they trigger abrt then? more importantly, is it possible to 
capture that in the QA process during distribution composition? I 
believe a lot of those warnings aren't environment dependent, but rather 
would appear in a generic installation, so it would be appropriate to 
detect them early and take some corrective action---either block them or 
at least log bugs.

I think it should be a given that we do not install applications that 
won't even properly start up. In the past I have reported/fixed several 
bugs in less-important packages where the application would not even 
start or crash on some basic functionality; I was never sure whether 
autoqa could detect such errors. OTOH, I haven't seen such basic 
failures in few recent Fedora releases.
