OK. This reminded me of something I should bring up.
What is the pattern for setting the face for JDE breakpoints.
Right now we have
Variable: jde-bug-breakpoint-marker-colors
Face: jde-bug-breakpoint-marker
One would assume that they could customize jde-bug-breakpoint-marker like any
normal face and the settings would stick around.
What is the purpose of these? Isn't the `jde-bug-breakpoint-marker-colors'
variable just redundant?

Colors are OK for old Emacsen. GNU Emacs 21 supports the 'display property on
text. We could put an icon at the beginning of the line and change this based
on the type of breakpoint (confirmed or unconfirmed).
I don't use XEmacs but I assume it has a similar facility.... even if we have to
use a glyph.

The truth will set you free -- but first, it will piss you off.
