Maybe it could be done by a root script with setuser flag 
in 'Project'-'Options'-'Debugger'-'Target'-'Start gdb server command run 
target'.

Up to now I used "remote" only.

The gdb target file can be defined in 'Project'-'Options'-'Debugger'-'Debug 
Target' (as you did). There is a predefined macro ${EXEEXT} in 'Settings' for 
global access or define your own project specific macros 
in 'Project'-'Options'-'Macros'. It is possible to save such a customized 
project as template for future. MSEide project templates are normal project 
(*.prj)-files.

The searched source directories must be listed 
in 'Project'-'Options'-'Debugger'-'Source directories'.
What shows the status line below the MSEide main menu?

BTW, the MSEide+MSEgui mailinglist is here:
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mseide-msegui-talk
Archive and NNTP gateway:
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.ide.mseide.user
I don't think the theme is appropriate for this list. ;-)
