You are probably doing this correctly, but something higher up
is turning it into a String. The way I debug this is:

1. Open an instance of a window that makes the call
2. Minimize it
3. Place a self halt in the method you want to trace.
4. Unminimize the window

If you put a halt in while the window is active, you are likely
to get an endless stream of debuggers until you minimize the
window again
