gtk_init problem

[Roland Bock <rbock eudoxos de>]

Hi!
I have a curious problem using gtk_init.

I want to use a gtk-object in a webserver application, which has no
display (why should it, it is a webserver). When I start the program, I
call gtk_init in order to use the gtk-object, but gtk_init ends the
program telling me, that it cannot find a display (of course not).

I must initialize gtk, or I cannot use any gtk_***_new() function as far
as I know. 

So my question is: Is there a way to initialize all of gtk that does not
depend on a display?

Many thanks in advance,

Roland Bock
