This works well.  No breakpoint or callstack issues.  Unfortunately,
the debugging helper is not working for anything derived from QObject
and the "this" pointer for everything else doesn't expand, only
showing the address.

Regardless, this is the gdb I've been looking for.  All we need now is
an x64 version =)
