I also find some features (if that's the right word) of Gtk::Application
and Gio::Application overly complicated.
I've added a short description in the gtkmm tutorial, Chapter 8.
"Container Widgets", "Multiple-item widgets", "Boxes", "Gtk::Application
and command-line options". I've also modified the book/box example code,
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtkmm-documentation/tree/examples/book/box/main.cc
It didn't work, so something had to be done with it. Right now these
changes are stored only in the git repository.
This is not the best possible place for a description of
Gtk::Application. The gtkmm tutorial needs a separate chapter or section
with a more complete description of Gtk::Application, but for now the
description and code I added is better than nothing.

Thanks a lot, it works.
However, I mildly hope that whoever envisioned this sophisticated,
weird, punishing (by exiting your app) and over-engineered solution
for a non-problem (argument access) needs to get itself together and
do something about it cause this type of approaches are exactly what
app developers don't need nor like.
(sorry for the personal post, it's gmail's default behavior).

Hi, this is a reply to

Thanks, but can you please post a /working/ example that handles
an argument from the command line?
I think gtkmm is (still) broken on this one, I followed your
instruction and it still failed.
Using Ubuntu 12.10 which ships with gtkmm 3.5.13
The attached example works, i.e. it shows the window. I had to
read some of glib's source code in order to understand that the
signal_command_line() handler is called only if it is run before
the default signal handler. I can't find that peculiarity
mentioned in the glib documentation, and if it's not mentioned
there, it's understandable that it's not mentioned in the
documentation of Gio::Application.
An alternative way to handle command line parameters would be to
handle them in main(), adjust argc and argv[] accordingly before
they are given to Gtk::Application::create() (i.e. remove the
handled parameters), and call Gtk::Application::create() without
the Gio::APPLICATION_HANDLES_COMMAND_LINE flag.
