2 problems with debugger

Hi Vladimir,

wanted to discuss 2 problems I still have with the debugger:

1. Startup of kdevelop inside kdevelop is really slow here and it seems
it got sth. to do with how many breakpoints I have set and enabled. I
tend to set breakpoints when I debug sth but never unset them, unless in
a later debug session I stumble upon them. So I had like 20 breakpoints
in the qmake manager set and it seems that kdevelop debugger takes ages
to set them all. 

I also noted that a self-compiled gdb 6.5 is a bit faster than the
debian packaged gdb 6.4.90 (which the maintainer claims to be nearly the
same as 6.5)

I can't attach a konsole output, too big. I put it on

www.apaku.de/vardata/debugger.out

It contains the logs from 2 debug session, the first starts kdevelop
with no breakpoints and then I set a couple of breakpoints and start it
again.  The 2nd case needed approx 12 minutes to start, while the first
was nearly instantanious.

2. If I cancel the gdb start before the kdevelop splash screen opens up
the debugger is killed, but the kdevelop instance still starts. Not sure
you can do sth. about this 2nd though, just wanted to mention it.

Andreas
