From bb4e768eaf8025d3ccf369cbad9a9b8be721e7ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthias Hopf <mhopf@suse.de>
Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2010 14:12:48 +0200
Subject: [PATCH] Use external tool for creating backtraces on crashes if available.

This calls /usr/bin/xorg-backtrace to create reasonable commented backtraces
with gdb. On errors it falls back to the generic method.
