accepts the usual toolkit options like -display and -geometry.
Additional options are:
- -watch display

specified in the DISPLAY environment variable or via -display is

are assumed to be property names which should be monitored. If no
property names are specified, a build in default (WM_COMMAND) will
be used.

window.
