Kdbg doesn't allow inspection of contents of std::string or std::vector

Question

I'm using Kdbg as my debugging tool for routine purposes, but it doesn't appear to have any way to inspect the contents of a std::string or std::vector. This is a bit of a drawback as use of the standard library is definitely the Approved Way. Does anyone know how to make it do this, or does anyone know of a GUI debugger that does?

(Kdbg 2.2.0 on Ubuntu 10.4).

I haven't had time to look into this deeply, but this article on pretty printing using python in kdbg may be of help: http://www.rethinkdb.com/blog/2010/08/make-debugging-easier-with-custom-pretty-printers/
