Do I understand you correct, that the debugger does not work at all in 
every build available up to now?
This is what I experience currently. I get the debugger started, see it 
pause at breakpoints, but no value of any variable is displayed.

This is unfortunate. I actually want to use QtCreator for a C++/Qt 
Workshop next week. Plattform is Windows XP, Users have mostly never 
worked with any Toolkit or IDE and not much C++ knowledge.
If there was a snapshots release until Monday miday with debugger 
working that would great. Otherwise I will have to live with no 
debugger. (I have no time to build it on my own now)
If you wonder why I want to use QtCreator - it is a free and 
comprehensive solution. VS is not possible License wise, Eclipse I have 
never understood and all other solution either have no debugger or crash 
too often. That I miss the the 1.0 release (by only a few weeks) is 
something I knew before, but the known bugs 
(http://doc.trolltech.com/qtcreator-0.9.2-rc1/creator-known-issues.html) 
did not have anything included that made me scare of using the RC Versions.
