All,
   Many thanks to those of you who responded to my question about
using dbxtool with xview.  Since I also received many requests to
forward the information I received I am posting the results here.

The basic problem, was that dbxtool and xview would lock up if a 
breakpoint was set inside a callback.  The solutions to this that
I received were:

1) run dbxtool with the -Wfsdb flag or the -fullscreen flag 
   (they are equivalent).

2) Remote display the application so that it runs on a nearby
   server while the debugger runs locally.

Thanks Again to all who responded.
