There are workarounds that let Emacs recognize those tricks in some circumstances. I'm not sure if gdb is one of those. Re changing gdb-ui to not use the IO buffer; what does this mean in terms of functionality? As far as I can tell from the description of the problem so far, the heart of the problem is that the mingw port of gdb launches a separate window, even when invoked from the command-line. It seems like we should be asking the mingw developers to change this, rather than coming up with workarounds that leave all versions of gdb less functional on Windows.
