I downloaded emacs 22.1 a gave it a spin. It's pretty cool, the new GUI for GDB.
But I don't know how to set gdb-enable-debug to t or to look at gdb-debug-log after.
My emacs is pretty darn rusty.
I also couldn't figure out how to change the format to hex for a watch expression.
I did have a look at gdb-ui.el and I saw pretty much every -var-command used but
I could not find any reference to -var-set-format...

I currently don't have a setup to properly test this, but it is something we
will be eventually looking into. At that time, I can give emacs a try.
