Sigh.

Command line options are wonderful... for console programs. GUI's are 
for writing apps such that settings can be discovered /without/ having 
to resort to the doc. I suppose you think Firefox, Thunderbird, IE, etc. 
need manpages, and should only be configurable via command-line 
switches? This means of course that you can't change settings on the 
fly. That would be too convenient, and WJM after all.
