Hi,
Is it a GNOME policy to ignore unknown command line options?
And: wouldn't it be nice if we had some kind of global policy about having a
--verbose-help or whatever so that we only get the full huge list of cmdline
options listed on each and every program's --help about things as hermetic
as --oaf-ior-fd and friends unless they are explicitely requested?
gnome-help | grep -- | wc -l gives 28!!!
-- m

De la observacion de la irreductibilidad de las creencias ultimas
he sacado la mayor leccion de mi vida. Aprendi a respetar las ideas
ajenas, a detenerme ante el secreto de las conciencias, a entender
antes de discutir, a discutir antes de condenar. Y como estoy en
vena de confesiones, hago una mas, quizas superflua: detesto con
toda mi alma a los fanaticos.
