200 The --cli and --gui options are particularly useful when debugging.
201 When running Revisor on a server with X11Forwarding enabled, you might
202 want to force CLI mode with --cli while if you are troubleshooting the
203 GUI you force Revisor to run in GUI mode by specifying --gui.
204 Revisor will (always) first attempt to start in GUI mode. If that fails
206 because of some reason, Revisor falls back to running in CLI mode
207 unless of course --gui had been specified on the command line. Possible
208 reasons to fail starting in GUI mode include:
209 - Display environment variable not set.
211 - Connection to display refused.
212 - Package revisor-modgui not installed.
213 - Cannot open display (Also known as 'Cannot import gtk')
