The core dump does not show anything useful (I discussed about this with
upstream, using bug-buddy, upstream bug #382835) because the debugging
symbols are not set in the Debian package (and there is no -dbg
package). If you could tell me how to activate the debugging symbols (I
know debian packaging quite well, so it's probably enough to just tell
me what to change in debian/rules and rebuild the package).

But I understood something more: it happens only when my computer is
idle. Understand: I work on one computer while my laptop is running
gnotime, but no X activity occurs. When I work from my laptop, even if
never setting the focus to gnotime, it seems to never crash.

Hope it helps.
