Bug Description

Binary package hint: firestarter

The man page of firestarter states that --start-hidden is supported. However, When i start firestarter with that option, It says that the option is not supported.

Still an issue on Edgy. This probably has to be fixed in the man page.

I would prefer that --start-hidden is added to the functionality.

My needs are so:
I want firestarter to run automatically on every bootup. So i add `gksu firestarter --start-hidden' to my Session. Now if ther --start-hidden is not used, then the GUI will pop up and closing it each time is a PITA.

My vote goes to supporting the --start-hidden functionality rather than removing it from the man page.

--start-hidden is working here (with Firestarter 1.0.3 on Natty).

I will leave the bug open, as there doesn't seem to be an option to choose --start-hidden in the GUI.
