I think embedding kdbg is a much better approach - kdbg has good support
for Qt (1.XX and 2.XX), and the ability to customise the way types are
displayed (eg. unicode strings can be automatically converted to utf8). In
addition the author has said before he is willing to work with anyone who 
wants to add kdbg into kdevelop.
