While not advocating Texinfo and its output formats at least for GDB (and
I guess also for other GNU projects) there is a significant amount of work
spent on having it right incl. its formatting.

I can't speak for Konqueror .info display but at least these files should have
the formatting right.  If it is not right please file a specific Bug (possibly
upstream):
	/usr/share/doc/gdb-doc-*/gdb.html
	/usr/share/doc/gdb-doc-*/gdb.pdf


wrt Fedora packaged documentation formats there was a proposal:
	[Fedora-packaging] HTML format preferred over INFO documents
	http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/packaging/2011-February/007634.html
	Message-ID: <20110215145931.GA26414 at host1.dyn.jankratochvil.net>
->
	https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/HtmlDocs

but the discussion died; anyway I at least package info + html + pdf in gdb-doc
as there were requests for each of these formats.
