I can respect that.

However, what i have experienced is if GDB sends messages through 
insight that insight isnt expecting.  Like Internal Errors, or even the 
verbose debug flags, then parts of Insight break, depending on when the 
error or message is sent.  It was far from intuitive to me why these 
popus were causing things like the symbol browser not to display.  Any 
hints? because i think its a bug that should be fixed, and id like to 
fix it! 

Also, instead of them popping up, which can be really really really 
annoying, how about a feature change, so that errors/internal errors, 
etc, are routed to their own list window, and an icon appears on the 
main window somewhere, indicating errors have occured.  Click the icon 
and you go to the error/message list view.  Its just that if you get 
some of these errors, like the PSymTab one i am getting, it can make 
debugging all but impossible, because it occurs so much.

Obviously this is a bit of work to implement, so id prefer to hash the 
issues out before wasting my time writing unaceptable code.
