      Since b34, running javaws no longer brings up the gui, but prints out
      Usage: javaws [options] <jnlp-file> [args]
        or javaws <options>

      However, it doesn't explain what are the <options>, and there appears to be
      no way to do this from the command line.

      Also, if an invalid option is passed (surprisingly, -help is not valid,
      making javaws inconsistent with the rest of applications in the jdk),
      it will bring up a gui dialog just to tell that the option is not correct.

      Moreover, on solaris-sparc and linux-i586 the dialog momentarily appears
      in Metal L&F, and then immediately attempts to switch to the native (gnome) L&F,
      but does it incorrectly (see attached screenshot) - one button is rendered
      in Gnome L&F, and another one is in Metal, until the whole dialog is repainted.
