AGI allows you to execute an arbitrary executable. That executable can
be a nice wrapper shell script of the sort of:

#!/bin/sh
DEBUGGER=ddd
DISPLAY=whatever
# you may need to set xauth credentals here or do whatever it takes to 
# make that X client work in your display
DISPLAY=$DISPLAY exec $DEBUGGER "$@"

There would probably be some further adjustments necessary, as I figure
that this simplistic command line syntax will not work with either
kdevelop or ddd. Or use a remote gdb?
