  This is a good point.  Q3.1 in the FAQ implies that gdb should automatically
invoke as insight if DISPLAY is set in the environment.  OTOH Q3.2 doesn't
mention DISPLAY in the list of environment variables that affect the operation
of Insight.

  Is this feature broken, or is the FAQ incorrect/outdated?
