Here with gdb-mi.el on Debian (and without your patch) I seem to note
one difference compared with my earlier setup on Windows: When hitting a
breakpoint, window point does _not_ move to the corresponding line in
the source file.  It moves there only after typing, for example, "n".
It would be nice to fix this but I cannot even guarantee that I can
reproduce the behavior here always and that the Windows setup worked
differently.

I think that could be a good idea.
