Got it now, I didn’t immediately understand.  I followed the
instructions to install debugging symbols for Ubuntu, here,
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Debug%20Symbol%20Packages
found via
https://drgn.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_debugging_symbols.html

and then installed these:

sudo apt-get install pcb-rnd-hid-gtk2-gdk-dbgsym
sudo apt-get install libgtkgl2.0-1-dbgsym

I hope that’s the correct protocol; haven’t re-encountered the crash
yet.  More soon, if I do!
