Instead of installing 100’s debugging packages one had to install in order to get stacktrace from GDB, I have now decided to use a third-party tool named Valgrind. I hope it’s not a bad idea. But I can’t seem to why it’s not working the way I’m doing it here:
pranav@fedora ~> sudo valgrind gnome-shell
[sudo] password for pranav:

==5588== Warning: Can't execute setuid/setgid/setcap executable: /usr/bin/gnome-shell
==5588== Possible workaround: remove --trace-children=yes, if in effect
==5588==
valgrind: /usr/bin/gnome-shell: Permission denied
pranav@fedora ~> sudo valgrind --trace-children=yes gnome-shell
==5777==
