I hear ya. No, breakpoints in class methods are still unimplemented as 
far as I know. I still debug them by manually inserting "keyboard" 
statements. So stick to lots of function .m files for now. :)

You may also be interested in my own Testify for Octave project 
(https://github.com/apjanke/octave-testify). It's an enhanced unit test 
(BIST) interface that provides nicer summary info and stuff when running 
tests on directories containing multiple source files. If there's demand 
for it, I'll see about adding an xUnit framework port.
