Keith,

Jim's suggestion is to create _another_ new file (gdbevent.it? or
whatever),
not to rename GDBWin.  He even suggested that GDBWin inherits from this,
so the objects that are windows do not have to explicitly get GDBEvents
in.  Conversely, non-windows objects can inherit GDBEvents directly.

Wasn't it that Jim?
