Given that you turn off follow-on-fork sometimes (in GDB) is that mechanic useful for Frysk as well? Why do you turn it off? Is it because of bugs, or more of a focus? I ask mainly to collate user experience here and see if it's a valid feature. In writing watchpoints I personally cannot see why follow-on-{fork|clone} would ever be turned off, but it occurs to me then that the mechanic might be desirable elsewhere. What do you think?
