I'm not sure if it was discussed.  Basically the problem is displaying 
QStrings which exist in a parent class of an object.

eg., with KUrl (from kde4), which inherits from QUrl:

- the strings are stored in QUrl.d, ie. QUrl's d pointer
- the custom command to display a string asks for eg. myurl.QUrl.d.host
- gdb doesn't like QUrl being there

Does that clear it up?

Cheers,
Hamish.
