How are you running insight? I've only ever run it from a console. This
could impact where insight thinks your gdbtk.ini is. (I'm just taking wild
guesses here, of course.)

How are you closing it? I just click on the destroy button on the window's
title bar. (Again, totally in the dark here.)

You're definitely missing some things... You should have a section that
looks like this:

[geometry]
	.srcwin0.srcwin=WIDTHxHEIGHT+X+Y
	.console0.console=WIDTHxHEIGHT+X+Y

and so on for other windows.
