Yes, I've done it. With only KDE and QT includes the classStore 
goes up to 17 MB, but now that I've included also /usr/include 
it is 37 MB... no crashes, it only takes  several seconds (10 or
more) to be loaded, and also when persisted bask on the disk. Code completion
is almost an instant pop-up, really pleasing, althought on my test 
project it seems that methods argument are not reported when pressing
ctrl+j (an empty box appears)... strange, since they are present in the
code completion method list (that is, the list reports both the name, 
arguments and return type of methods).
I think that Roberto's fixes should be ported to Gideon, in main() no
code completion, it is working only in method's body, not in global 
functions...

Is code hinting supposed to report the Doxygen documentation
associated with a method? If so, it is a wonderful idea :-)

Setup (software):
gcc 2.96
glibc 2.2.4
kde3 and qt-copy coming from cvs (recent checkout)
Setup (hardware):
Acer travelmate notebook, with 1 Gh processor and 128 MB of RAM

Ah, btw, with the big classstore (kde+qt+/usr/include) gideon is sucking
lots of memory... top reports a size of 95 MB... once the code is stable
some lazy loading tecnique that avoids loading unecessary class description
would be welcomed, I think. (kernel 2.4.18rc2aa2 is handling the memory 
pressure really well, I didn't notice any particular slowdown, maybe because 
most of the classstore isn't used and so is swapped out)

Finally, a couple of little bug reports: if I add a directory to the 
persistant class store, the directory is not included unless I restart
Gideon _and_ I delete the old classstore. If I press "cancel" when
asked for the new directory to add in the peristent class store, and
empty item is added to the list.

Now I will continue testing... mmm, would really like to develop my next
GRASS module (grass.itc.it) with Gideon, but I need Roberto's fixes since the
module will be written in straight C... any chance to see them added to
the current gideon's cvs? ;-)

PS: it would be nice if the font used in the code completion drop down lists
could be configured, it is a little small for me now...
