That's right gdb-ui.el and tooltip.el both have their own process filter
function. The one in gdb-ui.el filters out the annotations (`the junk') while
the one in tooltip.el doesn't. If may be a simple fix but I'll have to
understand tooltip.el first.

More generally, my changes to gud.el are fairly minor (adding the toolbar and
accomodating gdb-ui.el) so it should still be pretty robust. gdb-ui.el, on
the other hand, is much less mature, and there are probably many things
that don't work properly.
