Debug Policy

The Debug Policy tells GIMP what you want to do if GIMP encounters a problem. You have four choices:

Debug warnings, critical errors and crashes: This is the most intrusive option. Usually only used when trying to find a specific bug. This starts the debugger for any kind of crash, error or warning.
Debug critical errors and crashes: Start debugging when GIMP encounters a crash or a critical error.
Debug crashes only: Only start debugging when GIMP encounters a crash.
Never debug GIMP: Whatever happens, the debugger will never be started.

Effective debugging is only possible if you have gdb or lldb installed.
