Debugger freezes [message #46714]

Linux

I'm trying to debug within a Paint() routine: the Debugger stops on the breakpoint
and then everything stops/freezes.

I have to Ctrk-Alt-F2 into a CLI-session to kill the debugged app.

I found the messages about _DBG_Ungrab() but cannot access it - not defined in any header,
nor does declaring it 'extern' work.

Any advice?

I've drilled deeper and found

gdk_pointer_ungrab(CurrentTime); in Ctrl::PanicMsgBox()

I then did:
#include <gdk/gdk.h>
and in my Paint()-routine added gdk_pointer_ungrab(CurrentTime); just before the breakpoint position.

This works and I can now debug.

Is this the right way of doing it?

Seriously, in X11, debugging is sometimes unreliable risky bussines. More that often, to debug GUI, it is better to use DLOGs, especially in Paint.
