And what about a commandline option like --no-gui?

How is '--no-gui' better than 'unset DISPLAY'
How is '--display ' better than '-display'

The way I see it, when running from init, DISPLAY is always unset and
the app won't fail if it looks at the environment variable before
attempting to do anything stupid. The app is a synthesizer, so can
probably (or at least potentially) be controlled even better via midi.
Running under X, you can just minimize or hide it, to get rid of UI. Or,
like I said, do an 'unset DISPLAY' and check it before attemting to
dynamically link with qt, gtk and/or whatnot.

Suggestion for running headless:
if(getenv("DISPLAY"))
isGraphic = TRUE;
else
isGraphic = FALSE;
I hope there is a command line option for turning the
GUI off. Otherwise I would always get the GUI.
