[Glass] Debugging an app with Jade

I sometimes open a Gemtools image and start my server there.
If the debugger shows up, I debug change my code in Jade commit the
stuff and restart the Gemtools server if needed.
Debugging simply doesn't work as well as in other Smalltalk
applications. If you are able to commit a change from within a Debugger,
then you are lucky. If the server process resumes from within a Debugger
you are lucky too.
I wonder if I will loose too much productivity once the workflow, to
reach the current spots of development, becomes to long.
I can remember that I once was able to work from within one dev
environment and do debugging and develoment at a time,... but I have no
idea how I did this, or if there's just something broken now.
Using the object log is also a good idea, but you are mssing the current
values of certain needed variables most of the time and that becomes
tricky once you analize an error within a loop.
Merry Christmas!
