There is a program called 'xxgdb' which is an X front end for gdb.
This program has been posted to comp.sources.x news group.

Latest version is xxgdb 1.05. This version works with gdb 4.xx (and 3.xx).

xxgdb is a port of xdbx (for dbx debugger) to gdb debugger.

xxgdb uses the Athena tool kit.

There is also a port of xxgdb to Motif, which is called 'mxgdb'.
For more information about mxgdb, contact jtsillas@sprite.ma30.bull.com

For xxgdb, you should find a site which stores the comp.sources.x
news and retrieve the following issues (to build xxgdb 1.05):

xxgdb: Volume 11, Issue 42-55		(xxgdb 1.01)
xxgdb: Volume 12, Issue 78			(patch 1.01 to 1.03)
xxgdb: Volume 13, Issue 80			(patch 1.03 to 1.04)
xxgdb: Volume 14, Issue 100			(patch 1.04 to 1.05)

I am going to post very soon xxgdb 1.06 (patch from 1.05).

The new features of xxgdb 1.06 will be :

	Fix bug in creating more than 16 popup windows.
	Edit defs.h for X11R5.
	Remove xxgdb start-up error message with no file specified.
	Fix bug display arrays.
	Port to SysVr4 and miscellaneous improvements (Mark J. Hewitt)
	Fix bug for directories in filemenu (Norbert Kiesel)
	Fix bug pointers in arrays in popup windows.
	Add option -nx for xxgdb.
	Color for scrollbar is black in resource file.	
	Fix pb when no image file is loaded at startup (Tom Pavel)
