Ken,

Excuse the injection into the gedit mailing list, but since you are
already working in C#, perhaps you might be interested in starting (or
contributing to) the Calico Project [1]. We hope to create a generic
interface for many languages, and your debugger ideas might work well
for other languages, too.

The goal of this project is to create an IDE that works for a variety
of programming languages, is cross-platform, written in C#, uses Gtk#,
and hopes to add C#.

Gedit is an inspiration for Calico, but it doesn't currently use any
gedit API, although the plugin system could perhaps be adapted.
