F-Spot compiles (but does not install) symbol files. Look for .mdb
files. If you're running f-spot with the --uninstalled option (or
install the .mdb files next to the .dll), the --debug option will run
mono on debug mode and at least output line numbers on exceptions.

There's also a mono debugger on the work, which is reported to work now.
But you'll need mono and the debugger from svn.
