Seemed hard to find this information last night, but I figured it out
eventually. I don't think that page ever came back in a search result.
I documented it for myself and anyone else similar situated.

This is as close as I came
(http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces/DistroSpecificInstructions#head-604f4aa9d55d55ec1a1c9265b752c811f37fd4f6)
and it doesn't really help unless you want global debugging. Maybe
someone could clarify or refine that?
