         Specify a host on which  to  connect  the  gxid  daemon.
         This  option  overrides  the GXID_HOST environment vari-
         able. This option is only available  if  GTK+  has  been
         configured with the --gdk-target=x11 option. gxid is the
         GNOME X Input Daemon, which is distributed  as  part  of
         GTK+.



     --gxid-port=port

         Specify a port for the connection to  the  gxid  daemon.
         This  option  overrides  the GXID_PORT environment vari-
         able. This option is only available  if  GTK+  has  been
         configured  with  the  --gdk-target=x11  option. gxid is

         to {NumberOfScreens - 1}.



     --sync

         Specify that requests to the X  Server  should  be  sent
         synchronously.  By default, such requests are sent asyn-
         chronously. This option is generally used when debugging
         an  application, and should not be used in normal execu-
         tion.
