I get these messages myself. I'm going to go bug hunting in the
near future, because this was just a quick and dirty port of xxgdb, since
I needed it for a project right away. There are other bugs I found yesterday,
such as not refreshing the window properly when de-iconified, and it hung in
a wierd place while debugging the server process for my project. If anyone
has the source and found a fix for this, please mail me. However, I will go
bug hunting soon. In the meanwhile, consider xxgdb in beta testing under
Linux.

The "Program exited..." messages are standard and are not a bug. These report
the exit status of the program you're debugging, and can be quite handy
if your program returns different codes for different errors.
