I gave ObjectDebugging.st a short trial, since the basic idea
sounds very good.

However I ran into some problems:
a) Doesn't work with VW2.0 (might be a smaller problem to fix,
   looks like some methods are gone in VW2.0 e.g.
   "Notifier class>shortStackFor:").
b) Doesn't work with Envy1.43. After filing it in, my image behaved
   very confused.

So is there somebody out there who has a fixed version? It is
certainly worth doing. It doesn't seem to be very tightly
coupled to the internal classes and the code looks quite clean.
Unfortunately I still lack the low level understanding of
Smalltalk to do it myself.

If someone out there has a version working on VW2.0 and Envy1.43,
please tell me.

Cheers,

gunther
