Wrong. Just enable 'Debug all pages' and it will allow you to step
through the BE a whole day long...

I may be wrong, but IIRC the debugger only needs GET params if you
'Debug first page only'. When debugging all pages it sets a cookie and
leaves GET alone afterwards.

Well, I had this impression as well, but on my new machine (a
Pentium-M 1.5 GHz) it works ok now. Hey, time to support the hardware
industry :) I tried Komodo before (which isn't Java), and it was
faster, but nowhere near the debugging capabilities of Zend...
