I found one:
% ethereal --help
but it just popped up its standard 3-pane window; it didn't print
anything. (You use "-h" on Ethereal.)
I found another one:
% xmms --help
but all it printed was:
Usage: xmms [options] [files] ...
Options:
--------
-h, --help Display this text and exit.
-n, --session Select XMMS session (Default: 0)
-r, --rew Skip backwards in playlist
-p, --play Start playing current playlist
-u, --pause Pause current song
-s, --stop Stop current song
-f, --fwd Skip forward in playlist
-e, --enqueue Don't clear the playlist
-m, --show-main-window Show the main window.
-v, --version Print version number and exit.
with no description of generic GTK+ options - which is what he was
looking for, not the options for a particular application.
GTK+ 1.2.8, at least, doesn't treat "--help" specially in
"gtk_init_check()" (which is what "gtk_init()" calls); in fact, I don't
see anything to treat "--help" specially anywhere in GTK+ 1.2.8 (nor in
GLib 1.2.8, for that matter).
There also doesn't seem to be anything in the current CVS version of
GTK+ to treat "--help" specially.
Perhaps GNOME applications do that, but that doesn't automatically
happen with GTK+ applications.
