Comment 5 Christophe Fergeau 2014-04-03 15:12:22 UTC

Why is this bug blocking RHEL7manpagescan (bug 948362) ? This is a rhel 6.6 bug.

Comment 7 zhoujunqin 2014-06-09 07:14:25 UTC

I can reproduce with package: virt-viewer-0.5.6-10.el6.x86_64
then try to verify this bug with latest build: virt-viewer-0.6.0-5.el6.x86_64

steps:
1. Check remote-viewer manual and help, found --direct neither in help nor in manual.

# remote-viewer --help
Note: There is no string like following exists in help.
-d, --direct                                                      Direct connection with no automatic tunnels

2. But found "--display" always in virt-viewer and remote-viewer's help info.

# virt-viewer --help
  --display=DISPLAY                                                 X display to use

# remote-viewer --help
  --display=DISPLAY                                                 X display to use

Hi Marc-Andre Lureau, 
i find one comment you left in bug 823916 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=823916#c5
i want to know since --display is not a virt-viewer specific option, why not remove it from the help info, thanks for your help.

That's expected, no such option there.

Hi Marc-Andre Lureau，
first thanks for your help, and i checked again:
# virt-viewer  --help-gtk

GTK+ Options
...
 
  --display=DISPLAY                                                 X display to use

# remote-viewer --help-gtk
Usage:
  remote-viewer [OPTION...] -- URI - Remote viewer client

GTK+ Options
....
  --display=DISPLAY                                                 X display to use

i find that "--display" has been included by "--help-gtk" option, so i think we should remove "--display" from "--help".

We can't. all gtk+ applications have this option in --help.
