In the tree view do you have the tabs "CV", "LFV","RFV","DOC","VAR"?
"VAR" is the debugger variables.

There is no debugger swallow window. Console output is done to the output tab.

What happens when you put a breakpoint on the first line in main() and then
click the debug toolbar button?

Without the debugger running, when you set the breakpoints you should get a blue
circular breakpoint symbol. This indicates the breakpoint is pending. Then
when you start debugging your app, they should turn red. If you disable them,
they'll be grey. 

The status bar will tell you what's happening with the debugger. When your
program stops at a breakpoint or segfaults (eek) then the status bar reflects
this in the middle (the new section, one letter wide). This will contain
"A" = active
"P" = paused
"E" = ended

Also check the options menu, debugger section, for other options.

Unfortunately, console apps using cin, fgets etc from stdin won't work yet. Use
an external debugger (see Options/Debugger) for that.

??
The edit window border can contain bookmarks or breakpoints
Right mouse click in the border to see options there.

I've not run this on Mandrake 7.0, but I can't see that being a problem. You
never know though ...
