It seems that the notification that the target has stopped is not
reaching the menu and toolbar objects...

Grant, can you please start the Debug Window before you connect
and let us know what is in there?

If you set:
GDBTK_DEBUG
to 1, you'll have a Debug Window option in your View menu.  You can
open it before you connect.

I am not sure what is in your version.  Maybe you can also have a
log written by setting 
GDBTK_DEBUGFILE
to a file and setting the GDBTK_DEBUG to 1.
