Thanks for that, Gustavo. I would just add two things to your
instructions:

1. "ulimit -c unlimited" at some point, so that ulimit doesn't prevent a
core file from being generated;

2. Remember to specify the display, e.g. "DISPLAY=:0 gnome-session" :-)

Even with all that, if Apport is enabled, you don't get a core dump. The
only way you get a core is if Apport is disabled (i.e. core_pattern
specifies a file instead of a pipe). Very odd.

I finally got a core, force-fed it after-the-fact into Apport, and got
bug #671293.
