That would be nice for us to recommend here,
  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643650
but wouldn't that require us to call gtk_init() before
g_option_context_parse(), to first remove the "standard" options? Or we
could just call gtk_init_with_args().

Then I guess we could pass NULL, NULL to g_application_run() for
argc/argv, but this is one of the things that needs to be documented:
