Ok, but how does the frontend know the stack has been poped
and the editor should show a new line?
When we use GDB 7.0 we only listen for MI events to update the
frontend data.

I'll have to fix this for '-exec-return' anyway to support
GDB 7.0, but with respect to GDB itself, aren't we missing
some MI event then?
