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 DISPLAY 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).

--gxid_port=PORT
--xim-preedit

--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.
