 One of the most useful tasks that we rely on the community for is the testing and reporting of bugs. Since Xfce runs on various platforms and in a variety of different setups, testing all changes, in every possible situation, is an impossible task. As such, we kindly ask our users to assist us in testing, and reporting all bugs that they may find, using our [[https://gitlab.xfce.org|issue tracker]]. One of the most useful tasks that we rely on the community for is the testing and reporting of bugs.

-If you do get an Xfce application to crash, it's best to detail exactly what you were doing that led to the crash. In addition, we need the //backtrace// of the crash. However most distributions by default make backtrace output useless because there binaries are optimized and do not contain human-readable information to make a relation between the compiled code and the source code (like file, function and variable-names).+If you do get an Xfce application to crash, it's best to detail exactly what you were doing that led to the crash.
