Description Jonathan Conder 2012-07-09 11:09:34 UTC 
I think this is due to the new GApplication APIs. Steps to reproduce:

$ totem &
$ totem -h

Expected behaviour: help information is displayed on the terminal which called totem -h, original instance remains open.

Actual behaviour: help information is displayed on the terminal which created the totem window, this window then closes.

    main: Fix remote Totem exiting when --help was called
    
    The age-old bug. Run totem &, and totem --help would exit the
    already running instance.
