Sorry, I should have been clearer: "--g-fatal-warnings" is an argument for  
any Gtk-based app.  You can use it like this:

o at the console, enter:

gdb path/to/balsa
r --g-fatal-warnings

o when Balsa issues the "CRITICAL" warning, it gets promoted to an error,  
and gdb stops; at that point, type

bt

and gdb will print the backtrace.  It's good that you installed  
balsa-dbg--it makes the backtrace actually worth something!
