Yes they do, I'm trying to figure out where to move the stuff to.
Basically the state of things is that gIDE has now become a shell that
embeds bonobo components.  There is a corba/bonobo plugin system and
just about everything is now done as a plugin including the debugger,
project manager and document editor.  Debugging is being handled by
gnome-debug (although it is not all hooked up yet).  There is a
gnome-build module that is doing project management/building.  Stuff
somewhat works but things are currently buggy and there are a lot of UI
issues.

Well the harmonia project is actually what the original GPF author was
working from.  The original author is at jamess1 wwnet com if you want
to discuss things with him.  It would be great if you picked up this
project, it was originally intended to do basically the things you
detailed above.
