It's come up at least twice before. I rarely debug two programs at the same time and when I do, I can do it with two instances of Emacs. For those that need multiple debugging sessions there's a note in the Emacs manual to use "gdb -fullname" (even this isn't perfect: try setting a breakpoint with C-x SPC in both source buffers). Its a lot of work to implement this feature and until there is a release any perceived need can only be anecdotal. Nick
