An interesting thought was suggested by Vadim Zeitlin here:

http://groups.google.de/groups?hs=slQ&hl=de&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&q=%22How%20to%20see%20wxString%20contents%20in%20KDevelop%22%20vadim&btnG=Suche&sa=N&tab=wg

I'm far from being a gdb guru but here is a function that works (put this
in your ~/.gdbinit):

        define pu
          set $uni = $arg0
          set $i = 0
          while (*$uni && $i++<100)
            if (*$uni < 0x80)
              output/c (char)(*$uni++)
            else
              output/x *$uni++
            end
          end
        end

        define pws
          pu $arg0.c_str()
        end

 Use "pu" with "wxChar *" or "pws" with wxString.


I guess the same defines (or a similar for qstrings) could be sent to gdb on start of every debug session. Then kdevelop could print unicode strings by just executing pu or pws (or maybe pqstring), if such a value is to be shown.
