I would add:
1) Generic way to set a BP at a given line or function.
Add a entry widget to the breakpoints dialog perhaps?
2) Improved ability to attach to a given process.
Right now, the process listing code "exec ps -ef"
is totally broken on most platforms.

It would also be nice if insight (well gdb actually) could be fixed
so that it did not freeze up when run as a background process.
This is a bug but it is also a major "gdb" thing that might
require a lot of work to fix.

That should be Tcl/Tk 8.3.2 now.

I am currently working on a GUI app testing system for
Source-Navigator. It might be a good idea to use
something like it for Insight too. Still, this
is something that will not be "ready" until
the next GnuPro release.
