You should be able to run Insight in the background. If you're running
natively, then be sure to use the Run button (at least once) and select
File-Target Settings... and click the "use xterm for inferior output"
button.
Now, as to why gdb won't run an executable (the whole libx.so.0 thing),
I haven't a clue. I don't even know what libx.so is. What host are you
running?
