It's possible to test on windows [1] now. Feedback would be 
appreciated as I dont have a Windows box. I dont really expect 
feeback on the widget *itself* as if it works, the experience 
should be the same as on Linux, i.e same flaws.

To be honest nowadays I just use the popup to detect what is null 
or not, e.g on access violation.

Note that automatic break on exception requires to debug in two 
steps [2] because the first time the active frame is too deep 
(it's the one of _d_throw_dwarf (dmd) or _d_throw_exception 
(ldc)) so you need to inspect the full back trace, but a BP on 
source loc pointed by item #2 or #3 and relauch again.
