I'd like to hear the motivation first, because doing so goes against the whole design of gdb-mi. It makes little sense to me to have a package that provides certain features as inherent part of its design, only to disable those features on a whim. Users who don't like the gdb-mi UI can simply refrain from displaying those windows, they aren't displayed by default.
