Right, but that still doesn't explain why gvd is passing gdb commands such
as:

break sourcefile.c:123

when ddd (which is just a pain to use) uses:

break /home/miah/source/sourcefile.c:123

(ie. the full path to the sourcefile)

Doing 'show dir' on both gvd/ddd/gdb proper shows:

Source directories searched: $cdir:$cwd
