In reference to a thread on qt.io i made a couple of days ago 
(https://forum.qt.io/topic/52918/debugging-gui-apps-which-need-elevated-priveledges)
I noticed while trying to use a remote debugging session, when gdbserver was 
started with the --multi option, all i get isa messagebox stating:
'Connecting to remote server failed: The target is not running (try 
extended-remote?)'
Is this an option that is already there, but just hidden away somewhere i 
havn't seen? If not, it would be an extremely welcome addition,mainly due to a 
need to debug a GUI application that requires superuser rights, (hence the use 
of gdbserver via sudo/kdesu etc).
Also if i may make a slight suggestion, maybe an option to debug as root from 
the IDE itself? something in the vain of how gksu/kdesu etc do it,using the 
whole remote-device session over ssh is extremely convoluted when you need to 
debug a local application, and doesn't work at all if that appneeds a 
connection the the X-Server (can be solved with X11-Forwarding but still...).
Thanks, -Nick.
