What do you mean by "with --g-fatal-warnings"?  I assume this is a
compiler flag?  (It's not an argument to gdb or balsa....)

o at the console, enter:

gdb path/to/balsa
r --g-fatal-warnings

Sorry, I should have been clearer: "--g-fatal-warnings" is an argument for any Gtk-based app. You can use it like this: o when Balsa issues the "CRITICAL" warning, it gets promoted to an error, and gdb stops; at that point, type and gdb will print the backtrace. It's good that you installed balsa-dbg--it makes the backtrace actually worth something!
