Sorry, I think I understand what you are getting at now. Ignore my last 
response to this question.

.gdbtkinit is not a TCL file. It's rather more like a Microsoft .ini 
file (indeed on windows it is known as gdbtk.ini). Does that format have 
a name? I don't know.

I suppose it wouldn't be impossible to screw around with the tcl to get 
it to load on a command, although I don't know how right now. However, 
would Insight then save the file again, as it should, as the end of the 
session? Would this really make sense to a user?

Also, this file is used to define the initial state of the GUI (which 
windows are open and where and what size, as well as with what icons and 
fonts). It probably doesn't make sense to open this much after startup.

I much prefer it the way I have done it.
