What do you mean by not ignoring it? Under Linux gtk handles it, and
is there even a similar way of specifying displays under Windows?
--display is the correct syntax these days. Can I ask what it used to be?

Glib has functions to completely handle the command line parsing. If
that was used, then it would be handled in one shot, because that
function also initializes gtk.
