I'm following the steps. It is taking a while. I'm not surprised or 
worried by the time. But while its working, I'm thinking I see that
I am to run the program under gdb by invoking gdb from a command line.
I run programs from a command line all the time, but from a command
line in a gnome-terminal window under gnome and X. So what do I really
do to run gnome-terminal under the control of gdb? I've never done 
this before. I think I need some very explicit instructions. When I
get to the place were the web site says type: 
$ gdb hello

What do I actually do instead? I'm sure its 'obvious', but it's only 
obvious after one has been told.
