The procedure of debugging your PyObjC program with gdb should be 
documented somewhere. I always end up with adding more and more python 
debug code, even though I know that gdb would help me find the problem 
much quicker, just because I can never remember how to say the magic 
words to make gdb work on PyObjC code...
