 How come gdb won't launch xchat? What's it waiting for?

 GDB is waiting your command. so, you need to type r.

You might also be able to debug better if you compiled an xchat with
debugging symbols. apt-get source xchat and build your own version.

Possibly you've been bitten by #446865 [1] (there are quite a few
duplicates of that bug).

For Java, you could vote at the Sun bug database [1]. That is, if you
aren't going to do it yourself.

Re: For those who have no sound in their 32bit chroot

 It wouldn't surprise me. E.g., ALSA does not work in a 32-bit

 ALSA works fine here in a 32-bit chroot. I sometimes use 32-bit
 mplayer as it has access to win32 codecs.

 Really??? You're sure it's not falling back on the OSS driver?

I can't get ALSA to show up in wine either. I thought the bug that
Goswin mentioned was the problem. Would like to hear if it is
otherwise.

 Reading the references it does seem to be an Nvidia driver bug,
 which they say will be fixed in the next release.  Sounds like we'll
 just have to wait for that.

There is a beta 9625 driver out which fixes the problem on my
6200TC. The debs are in experimental. You'll also need
nvidia-glx.

 However, I'm now unsure about how to uninstall my non-Debian Nvidia
 driver that I got directly from Nvidia.

I think there is an --uninstall option. It should be there in the
README anyway.

 In fact, the only reason I didn't go with the Debian package to
 start with is because I wasn't sure which package to install (there
 are several nvidia-* packages and it's not clear which one is needed
 for any particular system).

First off, it is better that you use the only the debian packages. You
need just two packages -- nvidia-kernel-source and nvidia-glx[1]. I use
module-assistant to compile the nvidia.ko kernel module. You'll need
the kernel source tree matching your kernel[2]. The tree has to be
configured -- make-kpkg configure should be enough.

There is a README in the nvidia-kernel-source package. Personally, I
do it as:

$ m-a update
$ m-a build nvidia-kernel-source

You get a deb package that you can install 

$ sudo dpkg -i nvidia-kernel-version.deb

Check http://nvnews.net for more information. 

Footnotes: 

[1] And the nvidia-glx-dev package if you building OpenGL
programs. Take all three from experimental.
[2] If you are running a debian kernel linux-tree-version
matching your running kernel should be enough.
