SVN commit 502255 by vprus:

In variables widget, when clicking "+" on pointer variable, show pointed-to
value as child item, as opposed to changing the value of the clicked item.

The previous behaviour was not very intuitive and also made impossible viewing
of variables of type "pointer to pointer to whatever".
