Right.  The final step to perform in the "better tracebacks" project is 
to make tracebacks appear by default again in the 
standard_error_message.  You can do it by adding a line to your 
standard_error_message:

<dtml-var error_tb>

This hasn't been done yet because it turns out that several standard 
Zope error messages output complete HTML blocks as the exception value. 
  I haven't decided whether to change the exceptions (which might break 
existing Zope products) or make the error formatter aware of tags (which 
is magical).
