If you are running ddd and displaying on your local system, why don't
you want to type in "run arg1 arg2 arg3".  It's not as if you want
this to run non-interactively.

Create a .gdbinit file on the remote system containing "run arg1 arg2 arg3".
This should be executed as soon as gdb starts.

Are you sure you wouldn't be better off running gdbserver on the
remote system?
