It might be - it depends upon the reason why they didn't work correctly.
As far as I can tell, that had not yet been determined by the end of
that thread.

Helping you is something people do voluntarily. It's up to each helper
to decide the conditions under which they're willing to help you. You
can accept their help by meeting those terms, or refuse to meet their
terms and accept the fact that you're not going to get their help - its
your choice.

Debuggers can be powerful, useful tools for figuring out why a program
isn't doing what you intended it to do. Refusing to use them has a
corresponding cost. I can sympathize with someone being unwilling to
help if you're not willing to cooperate with the single most useful way
he could suggest to investigate further.

For myself, I would not require use of a debugger. I would, however,
require a complete compilable program that demonstrates the problem,
preferably as small as possible. I'd also require identification of the
toolchain used to created the program, and identification of the options
chosen for each tool in the chain. Not being particularly familiar with
gtk, I couldn't guarantee being able to fix the problem even if you did
provide all of those things - but someone else might.
