Well, I'm only parsing the args I thought were useful in this context,
such as print and pattern.  Also it uses the gnome_config routines to
remember your last selected font, which I thought was nifty.

It's amazing the functionality that Gnome gives you now; it makes this
program nice and compact and quick to code.  Probably a good place for
a program like this is in mini-utils.
