GDB (insight) with -nw ran fine with the program I'm trying to debug.

The program I'm debugging is compiled with 'gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red
Hat Linux 7.0)'.
The executable is nearly 3Mb.  It's linked with ViewKit (a c++ app framework
for motif) motif, and X.

I also tried GDB with another program I've compiled recently - gnomine, the
mines game which is part of gnome-games-1.2.0-9.src.rpm.  On this GDB (no
-nw) starts but only displays a blank source window.
