Activate/Deactivate Breakpoints button is 'backwards'

This is something that has bugged me for a while with Xcode 3.

The toolbar button for activating/deactivating breakpoints always shows the effect that clicking it will have, as opposed to the current state of the setting. This always catches me out as I think breakpoints are enabled when they are not and vice-versa. I think that it should show the current state and not what it will become. If you want some examples of similar buttons that behave sensibly:

In Mail, there is a 'Take all Accounts Offline' toolbar button. When you are offline, the electricity bolt looks dimmed, whilst when you are online, it has a glow.

In Xcode (at least be internally consistent). When you bring up the Code Sense completion window, there is a little button in the bottom- right corner that allows you to toggle between sorting alphabetically or by Best-Guess. When you are sorting Alphabetically, it shows an 'A' and when you are in best guess you get a '∏'
