[Qt-creator] Breakpoints + debugging issues

Hello! Some issues started to happen since I've installed the snapshot
of 2008-11-20 (today - version 0.9.1) I'm running on a Windows Vista
pc.

1- Can't watch any variable in debug mode. When I place the cursor
over a variable name I always get the same hint text: "Cannot evaluate
<varable name>". Happens with all variables/objects, both global or
local. The I noticed that if you select the main menu option "Debug ->
Add to Watch Window" the last variable I placed the cursor over starts
to display its value...

Talking about watches, let me make a stupid question, how to add a
variable to the "Locals and Watches" list?

2- Breakpoints cannot be disabled! You place a breakpoint and start
debugging, then you delete it or toggle with F9 but when you stop
debugging the brakpoint reappears. If you toggle off when editing it
will be there when you start debugging.

Finally, it would be great if you make the taskbar button blink when
the debugger hit a breakpoint, specially with those ghosts
breakpoints. Sometimes you click a button and keep looking to your
window, waiting for some feedback, while the debugger is stoped in a
breakpoint you didn't even know about.

Thanks!

Alexandre
