While unfortunately I don't know how all these work (i.e. whether they also 
work by execing GDB like DrKonqi) and while AFAIK not all of these are 
enabled in Fedora packaging, there are at least the following:
* Breakpad (Mozilla)
* Bug Buddy (GNOME, disabled in Fedora packaging AFAIK)
* a crash handler in wxWidgets

I believe there are probably also individual applications having homegrown 
solutions.

It's doing a "thread apply all backtrace" in GDB. That's a traceback (of all 
the threads), but it also shows information such as the values of arguments.
