Help debugging a System Preferences pane

Hi,

I'm building a system preferences pane, and I'm having some trouble getting XCode set up to debug it. I found an old thread in the archives from last year, but it didn't seem directly relevant. Apologies if this is oft-asked.

My preference pane builds fine, and if I drop it into ~/Library/ PreferencePanes, it loads and works. I have set up an executable in XCode so that telling XCode to "run" or "debug" my pane launches System Preferences.

However, if I set some breakpoints in my code, tell XCode to "Debug" (System Preferences launches), and then exercise the controls that call that code, the breakpoints don't fire. I notice that the breakpoint indicators that I put in my source turn yellow when XCode starts launching the System Preferences application (meaning that they're pending, yes?), but they never turn blue again. If I click them twice, they go from disabled to blue, but they still won't fire when the code is exercised.

I have also tried setting the deployment location to ~/Library/ PreferencePanes, and this does result in the built pane being put in the proper place, but I have the same problem with breakpoints not working.

I'm sure this is something simple, and I'd appreciate any help!

Thanks a lot,
--Mike
