Please see the other thread(s), where I explained in detail the two
problems with `gtk_init_check': upon success, it leaves two display
connections open, which is quite fragile, and upon failure, it makes
creating another display impossible, even if a display then becomes
available.

It's the typical misdesign in GTK.
