I don't quite follow as I removed gdb-source-window on 2004-04-08.

gdb-ui now just uses gdb-display-buffer (a variant of gud-display-buffer from
gdba.el)

Also if you create new frames for the different buffers, say through the
menubar:

Gud->GDB-Frames->Threads
                 Breakpoints
		 Stack
                 ...

then the bahaviour should be improved.

Are the changes that I have made in the direction that you are talking about?
