Reports that the man page describes -r as a synonym of --replace but that doens't work - but actually, the man page is completely out of date ... it has all sorts of options that are only supported by the development wrapper script, or that don't exist at all any more.

Currently the man page is horribly outdated, so update to the
current set of options.

(Based on gnome-shell-real rather than the jhbuild wrapper)

>+.B \-\-clutter-display=DISPLAY
>+X display to use

This doesn't actually work, because the non-clutter parts won't use that display value. Whereas "--display" seems to work for both...

OK to commit minus that.

OK. Out of curiosity - why does an option added to clutter's option group by the backend show up in the main group anyway?
Comment 4 Dan Winship 2011-06-02 15:33:16 UTC
there's a flag you can pass in the GOptionGroup to say that a particular option should be promoted to the main group
Comment 5 Florian Müllner 2011-06-02 15:36:59 UTC
Thanks.

(I feel stupid now - I skimmed over the clutter sources and managed to overlook the self-explaining G_OPTION_FLAG_IN_MAIN ...)
