Yes and yes

Yes I know that there are different ways to configure the variables for
gdb-ui. But I believe that this simple eval-after-load (especially with all
settings commented out) shouldn't break gdb. Besides why should I do it in a
hook that is run every time I call gdb, when configuring it once should be
enough.
