Hi,
I would like to open a can of worms. How do people feel about the current
behavior when there is no DISPLAY/X server?
Right now, when there is no X server, Insight falls back to command-line
gdb ("gdb -nw"). I am proposing that we instead print out an error message
and exit, just like normal X apps.
Any care one way or the other?
Keith
