what mode for debugging with gdb?

Hi, recently I've been using XEmacs to debug some C-Code (XEmacs itself and other stuff) together with the SUN Workshop and while not perfect it still is rather nice. Now, when I do not have a SUN around I do debugging on Linux with gdb. But here I found the XEmacs integration far from 'nice'. I used gdb-mode and tried gdb-highlight and gdbsrc. I can only agree with jwz's comments about gdbsrc -- it really sucks, while the concept is cool. In the next couple of weeks I will try to put together *one* mode that supports all of the features of the three and (hopefully) some of the workshop things (like annotations in the source and so on). Before starting to hack (OK, I already have :-)) I'd like to know if there are other modes I've missed. e.g. is this gud-thing supposed to be the future (at least in GNU Emacs) and what is the problem with it? I think an excellent debugging mode would be a major argument for using XEmacs. All the serious C-Hackers around here (some of which formerly only used vi and gdb in an xterm) have been converted to using XEmacs with the workshop integration. :-) So if you have any ideas or wishes (see gdb-highlight for jamie's thoughts -- most of which I agree with) send me a mail.
