That is one point about Emacs I don't like that much. Or I don't grok
how to use it.

That's just like gvd :-) Anyway, I can stay with Emacs and learn to
use GUD (after all I almost never use a debugger), I can keep my old
version around, I can use GPS or I can try to port gvd to GtkAda
2.2. I can learn something about Gtkada from the latter, even if it
doesn't work out. No lossage.
