+You can use breakpoints as bookmarks: Just set a breakpoint and disable
+it. Later, you can quickly come back to that breakpoint by double-clicking
+it in the breakpoint list (or select it and click <i>View Code</i>). Since
+breakpoints are persistent (i.e. KDbg remembers them across invocations
+of a program), you get them back next time you invoke KDbg for that particular
+program.</li>
+
+<li>
+You can display a value in the watch section in different ways by prepending
+gdb's format specifiers in front of the variable to display. E.g. <tt>/x
+var.member</tt> displays the <tt>var.member</tt> in hexadecimal notation.</li>
+
+<li>
+You can set breakpoints in a source files that belong to a shared library.
+Such breakpoints will be marked as <em>orphaned</em> if the program is not active.
+<A href="breakptlist.html#orphanedbp">Orphaned breakpoints</A> are not effective.
+In order to make them effective, the program must stop at a time when the shared
+library is loaded. For this it is usually sufficient to set a breakpoint in
+<tt>main()</tt>. At the time when this breakpoint is hit, the orphaned breakpoints
+in the shared library become effective.</li>
+
+<li>
+Debugging multi-threaded programs on NPTL-enabled Linux systems (kernel 2.6.x
+or later and glibc 2.3.x or later) may sometimes fails; gdb stops the program
+at unexpected instances. In this case the following may help (using bash):
+<pre>
+LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 kdbg myprogram
+</pre>I.e. you run KDbg from the command line such that the old
+Linuxthreads implementation is used.</li>
+</ul>
