AFAIU, they indeed don't use most of them, but they all use "a source window", except that they just use pop-to-buffer to display it rather than gdb-source-window. I personally like the use of pop-to-buffer over gdb-source-window because of my Emacs setup so I'd like gdb-ui to be able to use this simpler gud scheme, but I expect other people will like the gdb-source-window kind of usage and will want it to be used for other gud modes as well. Hence a sort of merge. As said, I'm proposing this without having really looked at the code, so it may be impractical. But I think we should move in this direction. Stefan
