From: John Carr <jfc@MIT.EDU>

System name:		psi-phi.mit.edu
Type and version:	i686 9.0.28 (2 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		XFree86 3.3.6a S3

Shell:			/bin/athena/tcsh
Window manager:		gwm

What were you trying to do?
	use mozilla from the infoagents locker on an alternate display

What's wrong:
	mozilla ignores the -display command line argument

	For testing purposes I started a second X server as :1
	and ran mozilla -display :1.  It instead started on :0.
	Giving a fictitious remote display name also had no effect.


What should have happened:
	If -display is not a valid option, it should cause an error.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	X(7x)
