You are not using a version of gdb with D support if s is not displayed 
as a string. This said, I've only ever looked at variables using print 
or a backtrace, could you try 'p s' and see what result it gives? If 
it's the same you aren't using a D capable version of gdb. This said, it 
should be working in that version of gdb, I guess there's some other 
issues there if this is the case.

This is a gdb issue, not a D issue, you should report this issue to the 
gdb developers so they can add a test case to their test suite and fix 
the bug :)

I do, and it works great for me :) This said, if you have issues with it 
it's good to voice them to either the D community or the gdb devs if 
appropriate so we can work out any issues and make debugging D on 
linux/freebsd/os x etc a pleasant experience. It isn't right now, but 
the situation's far better than it was a few weeks ago (it was 
impossible to do anything non-trivial then :P)
