That's odd. I have the GTK2 (not GNOME) version 7.3.547 (Debian
package). -? gives «unknown option argument: "-?"» for both vim and
gvim (both symlinks to the same executable). And -h and --help both
give the same help (including GTK+ help) for both symlinks, regardless
of whether or not DISPLAY is set. (I am not running a GNOME DE.)
Perhaps -? is GNOME-specific, rather than GTK-specific.
I would be inclined to say that giving E233 when no display is available
is a bug, and should be fixed rather than documented, however I'm not
familiar enough with how the GNOME-specific options work to be sure.
