I'm working on Windows Vista. I set the variable 
INSIGHT_FORCE_READ_PREFERENCES
to 1, as you told me to do it, but it didn't work. I'm not able to read the 
init file. If I enter the command
that you previously gave me:

   (gdb) tk set ::GDBStartup(inhibit_prefs)

it continues returning "1". I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm working 
with it since yesterday but I
don't get results. Is there another way to ignored the "-nx" command or how 
can I obtain what I need??
