The windows on that frame and buffers they display, and the frame
parameters.  Also, the faces.

Please keep in mind that GDB commands that invoke Emacs functions,
such as 'pp', are likely to crash during GC, so you will have to use
the x* commands instead.  For example, to show the members of a list,
you will have to use 'xcar', 'xcdr', and 'xcons'.  It's tedious, but
there's no other way of displaying Lisp object during GC without
risking to crash the session.

TIA
