tracing inside functions

Using bash 2.05, does anyone know of a way to get a trace of what's
happening inside a function?

eg file /root/myscript:

  #!/bin/bash

  function x
  {
      LIST=`ls /someplace`
      [ "$LIST" == "" ] && exit 0
      
      mv $LIST /tmp
  }

  x

and then:

  bash -x /root/myscript

will only show:

  x

I'd like to see inside the function.

Bash 3 looks like it has extra debug stuff under shopt... but not
2.05.

Any clues?
