Sounds good. Although I think only gnome-options is applicable, since
gtk doesn't do option parsing and doesn't have fixed command options
(afaicr).

Hmmm.... Of course, just giving "--help" will produce a quick summary
of common options:
GNOME Options
--disable-sound Disable sound server usage
--enable-sound Enable sound server usage
--espeaker=HOSTNAME:PORT Host:port on which the sound server to use is
running
These are fairly simple...
Help options
-?, --help Show this help message
--usage Display brief usage message
And these...
GTK options
--gdk-debug=FLAGS Gdk debugging flags to set
--gdk-no-debug=FLAGS Gdk debugging flags to unset
--display=DISPLAY X display to use
--sync Make X calls synchronous
--no-xshm Don't use X shared memory extension
--name=NAME Program name as used by the window manager
--class=CLASS Program class as used by the window manager
--gxid_host=HOST
--gxid_port=PORT
--xim-preedit=STYLE
--xim-status=STYLE
--gtk-debug=FLAGS Gtk+ debugging flags to set
--gtk-no-debug=FLAGS Gtk+ debugging flags to unset
--g-fatal-warnings Make all warnings fatal
--gtk-module=MODULE Load an additional Gtk module
These are options I doubt if most users will want to use, except
--name, --class and --display.
GNOME GUI options
-V, --version
Easy.
Help options
-?, --help Show this help message
--usage Display brief usage message
Familiar.
Session management options
--sm-client-id=ID Specify session management ID
--sm-config-prefix=PREFIX Specify prefix of saved configuration
--sm-disable Disable connection to session manager
These should *generally* be generated internally to the program when
communicating with the session manager. The exception, of course,
being --sm-disable.
