Just tested it with kdevelop 1.3 and 1.4+patch. I have no change here in
the varviewer, I can expand down to the senderObjects which then says
<incomplete type>. My gdb version is 5.0 from SuSE 7.1 beta 6.

Any other has a gdb 4.18 around which is pretty standard now on older
distros ?
Otherwise, just commit ;-)
