There is no possibility to configure the embedded call of the gdb. The only way to alter the initial gdb commands is to hack the source (gdbcontroller.cpp). I think this should be made configurable by a configuration file (e.g. if I would like gdb to ignore a SIGUSR1 signal.)

Also the command line arguments delivered by the internal gdb call are not configurable.

The gdb call should be more flexible.

It is desirable to enhance the already existing project specific configuration dialog.

you can provide your own shell to start gdb via the gdb options. You can execute any gdb command in your .gdbinit file. So IMHO this is fixed.
