Annoying DDD Behavior

[Slawomir Stepniewski]

Hello:

Those are really not serious bugs but rather annoying DDD behavior:

1. You cannot change in DDD the path where default gdb executable
   is located; no option in the .ddd/init file seems to work; the
   only solution is to use --debugger command line switch.

2. How to force DDD to show the "current line" arrow?  It is
   possible to use 'x/i $pc' command in the GDB console but
   defining a new button or simple macro ('x/i $pc' is hard to 
   type) does not update the arrow as the direct 'x/i' command.

While searching the Internet, I discovered that I am not the only
person struggling with those two issues.  Hopefully, they can be
addressed in the future DDD releases.  Otherwise, DDD is a great
application.

Thank you,

--Slawek
