	Right ;-) of course, there could be a 3rd bug somewhere that's
revealing this suddenly.

	Well - IMHO it'd be better to re-work that -slightly- to dlopen the
gtk_modules earlier (since that has to be done anyway) and hooking some
GOption info out of them - so they can have a crack at parsing the args
themselves [ no idea if that'll work though ;-) perhaps a double parse
is necessary to get the --gtk-modules= flag out first ].

	That'd IMHO add a clean / generic way to allow modules to register
arguments I suppose.

	Either way - the libbonobo fix for this wrt. accumulating arguments as
they are passed in is quite simple & fairly clean, and committed ;-)

	Thanks anyhow,

		Michael.
