There is no noticeable difference on Windows (which is a good thing ;)
but if this fixes some wxGTK issues, fantastic, I've updated the source.

Are you using the current version from CVS?
This version allows the standard Zope management operations 
(cut/copy/paste/import/export) as well as object creation from the 
Palette and property editing with the Inspector 
(adding/editing/removing). 
Right click in the explorer for menus.

I don't exactly understand how the ZEO fits in with this.
Would the debugger be some sort of ZEO shared object?
Are we debugging Product code or Zope code?

I'm very interested in extending Boa's Zope support as far as possible.
Zope debugging sounds very cool.
