To continue with the list of errors. ;-)
1)
Debugger error
Debugger reported the following error:
Can't take address of "this" which isn't an lvalue.

Got two one after the other just by selecting a frame from the stack.

2)
Debugger error
Debugger reported the following error:
No symbol "it" in current context.

After stepping (followed by and error of type 1). I think that in the 
second case KDevelop should just treat the error (like removing it from 
the treeview), but not inform the user as it doesn't mean anything to 
him.

My biggest problem with the errors are that they require to press OK and 
you just cannot do anything. If the error really  means that something 
went terribly wrong, than we should find if KDevelop treats gdb in a 
wrong way or gdb has a problem. If the errors are just for information, 
like in case of 2 (and a google says that the "address requested" is 
also not critical), it shouldn't be displayed at all, maybe only in the 
gdb window for debugging purposes.
