If the file is not listed in the combobox, you can still type it in to 
the file entry. This should ask gdb about the file and load it into the 
source file. If that doesn't work, you can still (hark!) use the console window to enter 
the breakpoint.

Of course if none of that works, you could be looking at a gdb bug...
