<p style="margin: 0px;">I guess, with 'IDE' you mean the lazarus executable.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">This executable may be in the config directory, when the Lazarus directory itself was not writable.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">And you can debug the IDE with another IDE.</p>

No, no, it's easy to understand. You want something existing except for some part. You have a different opinion about the defaults.<br/>
