I want the ability to break when my breakpoint *isn't* hit.

(Right now: Why is my transient popover being closed?)

That's like trying to prove a negative.

Only thing you can do is set another breakpoint at a place where your first breakpoint was expected to hit but didn't.

Yep. In particular, we were trying to figure out WTF was closing a dialog box, when a breakpoint on the "close" wasn't getting fired.

Couldn't you put a breakpoint in the code that does the dialog box close? I mean, when I can't figure out why my program is exiting, I put a breakpoint on exit() itself.
