The functionality may not be what you want but there is logic to it.
If you haven't 'started', you can't step. Most programmes would take too 
long to step through the whole thing, so one puts a break at the start of 
the suspicous section and then 'runs' it. Once you've broken, you can 
look at variables and step.
If for some reason you always want to start stepping from the start (main)
a break at main and a run command can be placed in the gdb initialization 
file.
