I dont think it is possible to start eric4 with kdbg or gdb, because eric4
is not an executable file.

I just noticed a different error though. I started eric4 with --debug, tried
to configure some preferences, and eric4 crashed with:

 Original exception was:

    return BrowserModel.data(self, index,
role)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/eric4/UI/BrowserModel.py", line 77,

    if role ==
Qt.DisplayRole:
