I hope so.

Aah, I was too lazy to look it up (and yes I do know the abbreviation,
but its too late for me to make a connection between debugger and VCR :)

Well, play and stop for running/stopping an app could be fine. But then
debug should have a separate icon and thus I don't think pause would be
such a good idea - i.e. some mediaplayer icons work for executing the
app, some work for debugging it.
