OPTIONS
GTK OPTIONS
--gtk-module=MODULE
Load an additional Gtk module.
--gtk-debug=FLAGS
A colon separated list of GTK debugging flags to set. Valid
flags are objects, misc, signals, dnd, and plugsocket. The spe-
cial value all enables all flags.
--gtk-no-debug=FLAGS
GTK debugging flags to unset. Use this options to override the
GTK_DEBUG environment variable.
--g-fatal-warnings
Make all warnings fatal.
GDK OPTIONS
--display=DISPLAY
Set the X display to use. Use this option to override the DIS-
PLAY environment variable.
--screen=SCREEN
X screen to use. Use this options to override the screen part of
the DISPLAY environment variable (see the DISPLAY NAMES section
of the X(7x) manual page).
--sync Make X calls synchronous. This slows down the program consider-
ably, but may be useful for debugging purposes.
--no-xshm
Do not use the X server´s XSHM shared memory extension. This
slows down the program.
--name=NAME
Program name as used by the window manager.
--class=CLASS
Program class as used by the window manager.
--gxid_host=HOST
--gxid_port=PORT
--xim-preedit
--xim-status
Control the X input method.
--gdk-debug=FLAGS
A colon-separated list of GDK debugging flags to set. This only
works if your GDK library was compile with debugging support.
Valid flags are events, misc, dnd, color-context, and xim. The
special value all enables all valid flags.
--gdk-no-debug=FLAGS
A colon-separated list of GDK debugging flags to unset. Use this
options to override the GDK_DEBUG environment variable.
SEE ALSO
X(7x), the GTK documentation, and the GDK documentation.
For most GTK programs there will be additional command line options,
which are specific to the program. These will be explained in the ap-
plication´s documentation.
