Sounds interesting. Do you have some kind of mock-up of what you plan?

Best would be to look at existing code.

I'd recommend using trunk - as noone is working on 3.5 anymore.
Tough gdb plugin is not really stable in trunk.

The debugger infrastructure isn't finished yet. Especially the
variable display is in the gdb plugin only.
So currently it is not possible to write a generic plugin - it would
habe to be done for
gdb only. However I'm currently working on this - and will create some
sort of common variable display
framework.

If you need any kind of help just ask here or on #kdevelop
