OT: [Mono-list] RFC: Corlib Unit Test on Linux How-To

Yeah, it's a shame, though, that the exception dialog on VS.NET is so
brain-dead.

It's losely based on the exceptions dialog in VJ++, but instead of
usefully listing the exceptions in a derived-class hierarchy (so you can
change the behaviour of an exception, or all exceptions derived from
it), it lists the exceptions in a namespace hierarchy - completely
useless.

Indeed, I use that a lot, when debugging in VS.NET.

More importantly, in the IDE, you can choose which exceptions (by 
type/category not by try-block) you want to break into, before itīs 
processed, either by any catch block or by the finally block.

I hope that Mono debugging will integrate that well with SharpDevelop
and 
with Linux Debugging environments.
