Finally got around to trying this - here is the output so far: [rfox@ThinkFox ~]$ gdb perl /usr/bin/net_applet GNU gdb (GDB) 7.3.50.20110722-4.mga2 (Mageia release 2) Copyright (C) 2011 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Reading symbols from /usr/bin/perl...Reading symbols from /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/perl5.16.0.debug...done. done. "/usr/bin/net_applet" is not a core dump: File format not recognized (gdb) run Starting program: /usr/bin/perl [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] Using host libthread_db library "/lib64/libthread_db.so.1". and it just sits there - program doesn't start. Didn't get very far . . .
