Stack traces are in that awkward spot where they mean nothing to a user but are often nearly useless to a developer as well. You really need a good core dump reporting system with something like Breakpad, in addition to whatever you tell the user.

[edit: i looked - it looks like a way to get cores off a machine and get a stack trace. which is nice ,but hardly changes the picture very much]
