+KDbg is a graphical user interface to gdb, the GNU debugger. It provides an
+intuitive interface for setting breakpoints, inspecting variables, and stepping
+through code.
+
+KDbg requires KDE, the K Desktop Environment, but you can of course debug any
+program.
+
+Features:
+o Inspection of variable values in a tree structure.
+o Direct member: For certain compound data types the most important
+ member values are displayed next to the variable name, so that it is
+ not necessary to expand the subtree of that variable in order to see
+ the member value. For example, you don't need to go into a variable of
+ type QString if you want to see the string that the variable holds.
+ KDbg can also display Qt 2.0's QString values, which are Unicode
+ strings.
+o Debugger at your finger tips: The basic debugger functions (step, next,
+ run, finish, until, set/clear/enable/disable breakpoint) are bound to
+ function keys F5 through F10. Quick and easy.
+o Of course, lots of other basic functions: View source code, search
+ text, set program arguments and environment variables, display
+ arbitrary expressions. Everything you need to debug a program, eh!
+o Debugging of core dumps, attaching to running processes is possible.
+o Conditional breakpoints.
