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.

from an X-term. Alternatively you could run the command from a console.
A headless machine in a gigbag would start in runlevel 2 or 3 with no X,
so the DISPLAY variable is never set and the app won't try to show any
UI.

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

Even better, make the gui and non-gui versions use different executable
names, like ethereal and tethereal. Why type --no-gui every time when
you can let the shell tab complete it for you?

Using two separate executables would be the best. With one, it still
requires the X11 libs even if they are not used.

How is '--no-gui' better than 'unset DISPLAY'
How is '--display ' better than '-display'
How come everybody want's to reinvent UNIX with their own name on it

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.
