Here's what I did in RadioActive: first you call gnomelib_init () to be
able to use gnome_config etc, and then check for the DISPLAY environmental
variable, and use either libgnomeui or some text-mode stuff to do your UI:

<wavy transition to sample code />

    gnomelib_init(PROGNAME, VERSION);
    
    // Load configuration
    read_config();

    // User interface
    if (getenv("DISPLAY"))
    {
	Gnome::Main m = new Gnome::Main(PROGNAME, VERSION, 1, arg_dummy);
	// ...
    } else {
	// ...
    }

It is a rather pleasant experience to be alone in a bank at night.
