Description Sebastien Bacher 2012-02-03 17:11:29 UTC 
Using on totem 3.3.4:

- run totem
- run "totem --help" somewhere else
- the totem ui exits

it seems the help summary is dumped by the main instance and not the new command and that totem quit after printing it

Fixed in master.

commit 228461c1d21389c78c1c80b16ddd70387b3e870f
Author: Bastien Nocera <hadess@hadess.net>

    main: Handle the --help option locally
    
    Instead of the remote instance. Launching --help would
    print the help from the server instance, and exit it, instead
    of doing so in the local instance.
