First of all I want to congratulate all who chipped in on the FreeRide
project. The more I use it the better it looks!

OK now the debugger is working with no asserts coming out.

But..

1. How does one set breakpoints. The breakpoint button does nothing.
2. How do I display the values of variables? I can see global variables but
not local ones. I can do eval to display anything but was wondering about a
list like the globals pane.
3. The threads pane is always all gray. What is suppossed to be shown here?
4. The frames pane shows different threads in a pulldown, but I don't know
what else is supposed to be shown here.
5. What version of FXRuby is required for this version? 1.0.22?
6. The ripper display only updates after switching to and from another
source pane. Is this a bug?
7. When doing a run to cursor I get an exception displayed in the console
pane that is below:

(druby://tuckmiester:2694)
./plugins/rubyide_tools_debugger/debugger.rb:454:in 'printf':undefined

      from ./plugins/rubyide_tools_debugger/debuggee.rb:1382
      from /home/sat/Build/freeride-0.5.0/test1.rb:4

I am not opposed to hacking on the code, but am just curious about what is
known to be working/not working.

Thanks for all the great work! :-))
