It's not the right behavior. Displaying something is only one aspect of behavior, and the program shouldn't even try to open the display on use-modules. It should only open it when needed, and then just throw an error when an open fails during use. _______________________________________________ guile-gtk-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-gtk-general
