	All that is way over my head. I'll read the site, and come back. 

	Meanwhile, fwiw, I did just blindly run "debuginfo-install qgis"

Is this ok [y/N]: 

	Of course I told it yes.

	That took quite a while; meantime, having failed with "man:gdb" 
in konqueror, I tried "info gdb" at a user prompt. Like the web site, 
that's going to take me a while to read. I will, however, do "gdb qgis", 
as you suggest, once the debugging install completes, and report again.

	Many thanks!
