I don't see where's the problem.  If you start GUD with "gdb --fullname"
and then another GUD with pdb, things will go wrong as well.  This should be
fixed, but it is orthogonal to the gdb-ui support.

This is ugly.  I'd rather just add the gdb-ui keybindings globally.

PS: I think what should happen is that gud should use a more traditional
keybinding scheme, where the keybindings are "static" (i.e. not changed when
you do M-x gdb) and the *commands* then check whether they're talking to
gdb, or pdb.
