Thanks for replying Scott.  You've described the same problems I'm having.  If
you use the non-GUI (i.e. the -nw switch), the source code is displayed
properly.  This is a feature of the pathing changes I described concerning \ vs
/.  It has caused a bug in gdbtk when it passes the source file name to the tk
routines to display it.  I haven't found where this happens in gdbtk source
yet, it's difficult to debug a debugger that's broken.
