Well, I know how to create a KJob that runs the app with gdb around it. My
problem is trying to find the right place where to create the kjob and to
know what other things need to be attached to it - debugsession,
gdbcontroller, etc. Apart from that, gdb plugin currently knows about the
gdb-job thats being executed and stores it internally.

I think its basically technical problems as I said above. I'm not sure
where to create a job that reads all the config values to setup a KProcess
and what I have to attach to that KProcess (input/output). Or what else I
need to add to this process.

I could probably find out all that myself, however that takes time, which
means I'll have to constantly rebase the launch-framework branch against
trunk updates. So if anybody can give me a short overview of what setup is
done when the gdb "Start" action is executed that would speed up things a
lot.
