Thanks for your report.

This should already be the case.

Same thing. You may be missing some -g flag.

That's what the start menu (F2) is all about.

Right, this file selection widget does not support such things.
Future versions (most likely of GPS rather than GVD) will provide this.

Same thing here.

Thanks, we've filed this as a minor bug, since GVD is not an IDE: it is a
debugger, and GVD does not expect people to do anything when no debugger is
running.

This is a gdb issue, and can be solved using the gdb "dir" command.
