Hi,

I see now that this constraint comes from xinit.

man xinit says:

  xinit [ [ client ] options ] [ -- [ server ] [ display ] options ]

man startx says:

  startx [ [ client ] options ... ] [ -- [ server ] options ... ]

I think man xinit is nicer, since it shows you that display -- if given
-- must be the first argument.

Bye,

Zoltan
