(you can use Xnest or another server instance on a different console.)

--display does indeed work, but the BUGS entry says -display, which is
the name X applications use for this option.

src/normal-args.c:

        gnome_init_with_popt_table (
                "gnumeric", VERSION, argc, argv, gnumeric_popt_options, 
                POPT_ARGFLAG_ONEDASH, &ctx);

may solve this problem, it also makes -geometry work.  (I haven't
tested it.)
