It's a useful idea.

How about making the keybindings automatically contingent on
`buffer-read-only', like `diff-mode' does?

Then the user could just turn on this mode by default in _all_ his
source buffers, and use the normal `toggle-read-only' binding to
toggle between gdb commands or editing -- you wouldn't need the
special binding for  `C-x C-q', just the bindings for the actual
commands (which is good for people like me that use `C-x C-q' for
something else).
