speedbar and gdba

[Hadron Quark]

I realise I'm probably missing something incredibly obvious here and
have googled away with no success:

if I debug in emacs using gdba (gdb), I can bring up speedbar view by
hiliting a variable and hitting C-c C-w for "watch".

But I'm damned if I can get the speedbar to expand and show the member
data!!!

Any hints & tips much appreciated.

I have tried hitting enter (prompts me for new value), clicking, double
clicking, right clicking  : nothing. There is a "+" there indicating it
can be expanded - but I get nothing.

Suggestions for tracking the problem down? Or is it glaringly obvious?

Have you tried the Emacs manual?

If you enable the toolbar (which I find handy for debugging) you can
just click on the glasses icon.

Emacs Manual:
Building -> Debuggers -> GDB Graphical Interface -> Watch Expressions

With the toolbar just click on the question mark icon.

Have you tried with mouse-2 (middle button)?

I was going to say if you have a two button mouse typing RET will work
but that doesn't appear to be the case.  Perhaps I've broken something,
I'll look into it.

I see now that SPC toggles expansion/contraction of arrays/structures.

What about pointers?
