debugging using tk.rb

Is it possible to use the debug library while using tk.rb?
It seems to work only as long as the Tk mainloop is not entered...

when I do that literally, the script exits immediately, without any
messages. When I use () instead of {}: evloop = Thread.new(Tk.mainloop)
then it starts normally, but there is no difference with just Tk.mainloop.

For example, running the Pig Latin Generator from Dave's book
(attached): if I try to debug the pig method with
`break PigBox:pig', then hitting the `Pig It' button should stop me in
the pig method, but that doesn't happen. (I can, however) circumvent
this by setting the break point on the line number).

And when I hit the `Exit' button, an error message pops up:

FATAL
FATAL
while executing
"rb_out c00002"
invoked from within
".w00000.w00004 invoke"
("uplevel" body line 1)
invoked from within
"uplevel #0 [list $w invoke]"
(procedure "tk::ButtonUp" line 22)
invoked from within
"tk::ButtonUp .w00000.w00004"
(command bound to event)

One of my real, rather complex, applications says, as soon as I enter
the Tk-window with my mouse:

/home/wybo/bin/adm/admin:4:$: << File.dirname(__FILE__) files
(rdb:1) b ~/bin/admin_transaction.rb:108
Set breakpoint 1 at ~/bin/admin_transaction.rb:108
(rdb:1) c

/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/tk/event.rb:443: TkUtil.eval_cmd(cmd,
*(ex_args << klass.new(*klass.scan_args(keys, arg))))
(rdb:1)

I suspect that this error message is caused by the use of rio(??) (for
the creation of temporary files)

Duh. Ruby is a strictly evaluated language, arguments to a function call
are evaluated before the call. Tk.mainloop hangs the interpreter before
Thread.new is ever called.

(You might want to spend some time on learning Ruby syntax and what the
difference between those brackets is.)

thanks, David Black, for your support.
The problem is, I'm one of those non-professional users who can, with
their limited knowledge, do a lot with Ruby without understanding all
it's ins and outs. For instance, I have no experience with threads at
all, so when I am suggested a solution using those, I just try, and if
it works I have another reason to study threads in detail. Before that
I'm stupid enough to think that Thread.new{...}, which did nothing, may
have been a typo...
