--- Comment #4 from Michael Catanzaro <mcatanzaro at gnome.org> ---
I can explain the gdb part: https://blogs.gnome.org/mcatanzaro/2021/09/18/creating-quality-backtraces-for-crash-reports/

But since lightdm-webkit2-greeter is a system component, someone who uses it will have to figure out how to run it with the G_DEBUG environment variable to make it crash. If you can run it from command line and see the same error, that would be easy and ideal. If that doesn't work, you *could* try setting it in /etc/environment, but that will probably cause other system components to crash too and could stop you from getting far enough to even launch lightdm-webkit2-greeter, so that might not work. A surefire way would be to replace the lightdm-webkit2-greeter binary with a script that sets the environment variable and then execs the binary. That will almost definitely work.
