KDevelop4 debug launch quirks

[Manoj Rajagopalan]

Hi all,

   This is from a build of KDevelop from last night's svn update. I'm working 
on KUbuntu 9.10 / i686.

   I have this really simple C++ hello-world program and I set a breakpoint on 
the cout line. I configure the debug launch to use GDB (appears as a 
sub-element of the New Native Application launch) and select this launch from 
the Configure Launches menu item in the Run menu.

   When I press F9 or click the Debug Launch item from the Run menu, sometimes 
Debug tab is raised but nothing else happens. On the other hand, from the 
Projects panel on the left, if I right-click my hello_world project and 
select Debug As ... -> Native Application from the popup menu, I am able to 
debug: hello_world.cpp shows up and an arrow sits on top of my breakpoint 
icon.

   What is it that I have missed in not being able to run the Debug Launch in 
a simple manner?

   Also, I'm sending this email to the developer list. Should I be sending 
this to the user list (also)?

Thanks,
Manoj
