The preferences are stored in the "idl.pref" file in
your APP_USER_DIR, wherever the hell that is! The
preference you are looking for is IDL_GR_WIN_RENDERER.

(My APP_USER_DIR appears to be something like /Users/David/.idl)

Perhaps you can start IDL up in command line mode (rather than
use the Workbench) and set this preference with PREF_SET.
Then switch back to Workbench mode.

PREF_SET 'IDL_GR_WIN_RENDERER', 1, /COMMIT

Cheers,

David
