I found this, which works:


http://cdw.sourceforge.net/documentation/emacs_gdb_ncurses/emacs_gdb_ncurses.en.html

But it is a PITA to run all these gdb commands at the beginning of each
debugging session. Is there a nice hook in emacs where I can put this stuff,
or should I use .gdbinit? Thinking the latter is better.
