Yes, that is what I use all the time. But it is a Motif front end, blech. 
And the watch windows are really weird. The best front end I have used 
was the GVD front end, but it is written in Ada and I guess the GNU Ada 
folks didn't think anyone used it for C/C++ debugging so they killed that 
support and now it only works for Ada ;-(.   

Having used the Open Watcom debugger for so long I just love that thing. 
Simple and powerful. Rather than write a new front end to GDB, we are 
just making Open Watcom understand GNU debug info (they both use Dwarf 2, 
but their implementations were quite different when we started).
