It is surely possible with any debugger as long as the GUI remembers
what is open and re-create it as needed. That gdb's MI variables are not
exactly as helpful for that purpose as they could is another story. Not
relying on that (mis-)feature does - IMNSHO - rather improve the ability
of the GUI to target other debuggers...
