That's why I feel that I will like cgdb.

And I finally found the cause of the problem. I have 

    setenv COLORFGBG default

in order to correct some behavior in programs compiled against slang.
Turns out that cgdb has problems when COLORFGBG is set, even when I
set it to "black;white" "white;black", etc. I guess there is a
conflict between this setting and cgdb. Perhaps now you can make it
more robust.

Anyway, now that I get it working, I'm going to give it a full swing.

Yes, a monochrome mode is great also. However, I noticed that in mono
(vt100, for example), there are no line numbers and the line indicator
character is not shown. How about just reversing the video on the
current line? 

Thanks once again for a fine job.
