getopt does not remove arguments it has handled, but it rearranges the
argument list so that they are at the beginning, and updates 'optind'
to point at the first unrecognized argument.  What we should be able
to do is parse our arguments, store optind, then let Gtk+ at its
arguments, and check that argv[optind] == NULL.
