Kewl. :-) > Using the toolbar for debugging works very well IMO. No doubt, but I don't like using the toolbar for debugging. Partly this is personal preference (I tried for a while, then just stopped), but there are also many common debugging situations where I think _most_ people (at least those not terminally infected by windows debuggers) would use the command-line, or at least have the gdb command buffer visible: for instance, when you're not hitting `step / step / step', but rather `step / grovel around in data / step / grovel around in other data / etc'. Since the new graphical debugging stuff appears to be enabled by default (at least, it pre-stuffs the gdb command line with the options to turn it on), I think at the least, it ought not screw up traditional gdb-in-emacs usage. -Miles -- Somebody has to do something, and it's just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us. -- Jerry Garcia
