No luck here, but then again gdb isn't working for me either.

I would verify that we aren't getting bit by the ptrace security patch
that was applied to Ubuntu some time ago, and may be filtering into other
distributions by now.  See if you can attach to a process with gdb as a
normal user--if you can, and DrKonqui still doesn't work, then we have a
problem.
