> Why in gud-common-init?  Why not in gdb-many-windows?

Because `gud-common-init' sets up the initial *gud- window.  At the time
`gdb-many-windows' is called (if it is called at all) the knowledge
about any previous window buffer is lost because it got changed by
`gud-common-init'.

> The other method of invoking GDB, gdb-gud, does not change the window
> configuration in any significant way, and never restored window
> configuration for as long as the old "M-x gdb" existed.

Sam complained that

>> *gud-lisp.run* buffer and window are preserved

and that

>> it does not restore the window configuration which existed
>> when at M-x gdb RET time.

Your proposal would address neither of these.

> So I think we

> window configuration in dramatic ways.

It does so, indeed.
