Well,... I'm not very experienced with these sorta things (as I'm a computational geometry man myself) but if you will tell me where to look in the rhgdb source I'll see what I can do.

Also a 'bug' which I recently discovered was that rhgdb does not always has the correct type for a variable. especially with pointers. (I'm using stabs debugging info.).
Another minor thingy is that the tabstop of rhgdb is set on 3, the option (somewhere in the program) doesnt seem to work properly.
I'm using version 1.4.
