There are some GUI debuggers; most of them are actually just frontends
to gdb. If you use GNOME, you might want to have a look at
http://home.gna.org/nemiver/. There's also ddd
(http://www.gnu.org/software/ddd/), which is quite powerful, but has a
rather clunky interface.
Lastly, I'd recommend you give plain ol' gdb another look. Although it
has lots of commands, in practice it's pretty simple to use, as there
are only about five commands you need frequently.
P.S. If you're debugging graphical apps, you should make sure you have
the appropriate "-dbg" packages installed for gtk, qt, or whatever
toolkit is being used, and set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH appropriately. This
may vary depending on what distro you are using, but without this
you'll probably have stripped libraries installed that won't give you
useful info on crashes inside the toolkit.

Preferably both, but what I really want is a way to debug GUI apps
written in C or C++ that doesn't look like the old MS-DOS debug
program. Ideally, I'd like something like the WATCOM debugger
that I used under OS/2. Obviously, I'll take what I can get. <g>
Thanks.
