Has anyone any experience of, or better yet have examples of, using addOnHandleLocalOptions and addOnCommandLine to do command line processing for a GtkD application using Gtk.Application?

(I believe the GtkD demos directory is, sadly, lacking in any examples of doing this sort of thing.)

(Yes I know GTK+ applications are supposed to launch without any command line processing, and indeed Rust has failed to provide access to these methods, but OpenGL with some hardware requires a non-default choice at launch time.)

Aha, of course. That will do very nicely. Thanks for the pointer. And many thanks to Gerald for doing the "leg work".
