I use dbxtool under OpenWindows all the time.  The first problem that you
mentioned about click to type is mention as a known problem in one of the
documents distributed with OpenWindows.  You should remember to use
run your application with the -Wfsdb switch so that your X application
will not lock up dbxtool when stepping through some X code.  When I debug
there is an arrow pointing to the current line in the display window whether
or not I have editting enabled.

As for other problems, I have had dbxtool report an error while reading
shared libraries, but I get around this by linking the the -Bstatic option.
