I saw a discussion back from 2008 that kind of went nowhere. Has the state-of-the-art in window placement improved since then? In any case, could I add a custom variable to completely turn off dedicated windows in gdb-mi.el? The current community workaround that I found is to use commands that disregard dedicated windows in place of the proper ones, just to play around gdb. I think it's better to just give an option to turn dedicated windows off. regards Oleh
