An alternative to opening xterms (e.g. if that host isn't running an X server, you can't get X11 forwarding to work, or you just don't want xterms) is to use GNU "screen". It's basically the same command line, but it will open a screen terminal for each thread. When debugging multiple threads with xterms or screens, I recommend gdb's -ex 'break somewhere' -ex run --args ./app -args -for -your application to save you from entering commands into each terminal separately.
