I totally agree. Also, one advantage of having your GUI and GDB as
separate processes is that you can then launch your GUI locally while
GDB is running on a distant machine. I do that fairly often with GVD,
with GVD running on my local machine in Vancouver, and the distant
machine being either in New York or Paris...
