Switching to gearbox should be relatively easy, I'll try to check the
reason in the next days.

Issue is that the debugbar, like most TG applications, uses the dotted
notation for template files.
Which in Kallithea is disabled because kallithea renders templates as
'/filename.html' instead of 'kallithea.filename'.

Using the debugbar would require the dotted template engine resolution,
which can't be enabled because the mako renderer in TG doesn't support
mixing the two syntaxes.
Other renderers like the genshi one are smarter and allow mixing path and
dotted notations inside same project, but as the mako was one of the less
used on TurboGears it is not as refined as the others.

I can probably fix this by subclassing the mako renders in Kallithea and
providing a custom renderer that supports both syntaxes.
