No, that's not what I meant. The insight UI is fine, esp. if we stay
with the GDI Tk interface.

What is troubling is gdb's not being able to load certain dll's from
to time with certain command-line args. Of course this problem also
occurs within insight, because it's a
gdb problem with --args exe args.
I do have an easy workaround without --args but using $ run args so I
do not complain.
