This may make sense with `gdb-many-windows' set to t but I find it pretty annoying with a nil value. I just looked at a long stack trace displayed in the only window of the frame. When I hit RET to jump to the interesting source Emacs popped up a new frame. IMHO it's very bad behavior to pop up a frame unless explicitly asked to do so. Do these windows have to be dedicated? Another smaller annoyance: IMHO the separate IO buffer shouldn't be in a dedicated window even if `gdb-many-windows' is t. It just takes to much space and makes it hard to look at two source files at the same time. BTW, how about some key bindings to move around / display the gdb-ui windows? David
