As I guess it's not only me that is seeing this problem;

After some research, it appears that this is a rather well-known bug in 
gdb [1]. It appears that gdb cannot properly set breakpoints in the 
constructor of classes derived from classes with virtual member 
functions(!). At least not in binaries compiled by GCC 3.x. All gtkmm 
implementation classes fall into this category I guess.

If anyone know about a solution or a good workaround for this, I'd be 
happy to know about it. It's rather hard to write anything but a trivial 
application without beeing able to run it through the debugger!
