Might put something about that in the docs, since it'll be a bit subtle
that code really needing an init at BEGIN or CHECK time will fail with
strange gtk errors under -c.  I expect the advice would be that for
maximum flexibility best try to not need init while loading up code,
only at the point it starts to run as such.
