Then you can create a GDB Debugger specific perpective with a layout
that is very GDB centric.  However, for many of _my_ customers, they
_don't_ want to see a GDB console at all (that is why they are using
a graphical IDE =;-).  These types of differences are always going to
occur, and since GDB is just one flavour of the generic CDT debugger,
it would be very presumptuous to assume that all users need the GDB 
console more than they need ... say the output console, or some other
view.
