Until recently (see my bug#11273), quitting gdb did not change the
window configuration and preserved the stack, locals, &c windows and
buffers.
Now that was fixed and all those subsidiary buffers and windows are
killed.

however, the original window configuration is not restored, which is
wrong, and, also, the *gud* window is preserved, which is also wrong.
