Yes, it means that Creator knows that you want a breakpoint there but
gdb did not yet acknowledge.

Not necessarily. Could you send me the output of the right pane
of the Gdb View (Debug -> Views -> Gdb) and possibly a bit of
the context around the line you want set the breakpoint on
in private mail? (Breakpoints in costructors tend to be fragile 
for instance...)
