[news.eclipse.tools.pdt] How to prevent debug opening the browser?

PDT behavior is currently extremely annoying with xdebug - i hope i am missing something. Some setting or something.

Expected:
* (start listening for xdebug events - should happen automatically - ie. always listening. can see some difficulties implementing that - so, probably not possible currently)
* whenever / whatever i want to debug i tell that to my browser and the debugger kicks in.


Actually what i get:
* launch debugger
* browser window opens with the mandatory (WHY!?) and meaningless source file set in settings (i usually use a special file that does nothing to prevent possibly harmful effects caused by debugger going amok)
* hit F8 to get out of it.
* close the useless browser window that got spawned
* :) here comes the expected part where i can actually use the debuger sensibly and as needed. (when i want to debug - i tell that to browser and the next server-event triggers the debugger)
* close debugger
* close another browser spawn.


I would VERY MUCH like to get rid of all the other bullet-points besides the one with the smiley. Can that be done with 2.* version of PDT?

Managed to get rid of all the other (at least for me) useless spawns that opened in eclipse itself - just can't get rid of the browser spawn and first debug run.
