The "Running and debugging GTK+ Applications" document is the only 
thing I know of: 
<https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk-running.html>. They are 
mostly debugging and legacy X11 workarounds, it seems. There are also 
similar docs for GLib and GIO, but those don't mess with your argv, 
AFAIK.

Of course, you really should be using G[tk]Application, which will call 
this for you, and aso provides a structured way of handing command line 
arg parsing. ;) Especially since that (IIRC) the plan for GTK+4 is to 
remove all GTK-specific command line args anyway.
