If you want output on the GUI: yes. Of course you don't need to Refresh()
and Wait after each change. Generally, Refresh() is not needed for most of
the controls because they can detect themselves when they changed (it's
different for a DrawingArea, e.g.). You simply change the controls and
then call Wait once immediately before the breakpoint. Then you get the
changed GUI.

Or, if you don't need the update on the GUI but just the changed data, you
can simply Print or Debug these values. Then you don't need Wait.

Tobi
