Kevin,

You must run the command from gdb in a shell and then cause it to crash. 
Once crashed you give the command "bt" for backtrace and the resulting 
information should be copied and pasted into your email.

On my system, running the Create Launcher command creates this command 
line (from ps):

exo-desktop-item-edit --display=:0.0 --create-new --type Application 
/home/rgs/Desktop

Your command line may be different so start it normally and then grab 
the command line from "ps ax".

Then open a shell and give it this:

gdb "your command line here"

Note the double quotes around the command line

That should start the Create Launcher dialog. Cause it to crash, then 
give gdb the command "bt", then report you results to the list.
