I already tried ddd ... and let's say that I found the general
interaction less than stellar.

I'll give Eclipse a try and see which one works best for me.

I remember as well that breakpoints are not enabled in the shared
libraries. There is some trick to it, to make them enable at the right
time. I don't remember exactly how, but you first need to have the
import statements work, such that the libraries are there. Then I
click on the enable/disable icon of each breakpoint (top left). Then
it gets properly installed. It's a bit cumbersome, but I think Eclipse
is missing a hook to detect that shared libraries are loaded and to
re-test for installing the breakpoints automatically.

You didn't mention your Eclipse version. Be sure to be on the latest release...
