One strange thing I've found (or that I've never noticed). If you do an "help

There are some commands that are meaningful only in the GUI build and not in the
CLI one. I tried to flag with a * the ones I think are GUI only. Is that normal 
?? Maybe
that's related to the warning shown when CLI starts-uo on a gnubgrc generated 
by a
GUI exe.

In fact, my gnubgrc starts like this:

set lang system
set annotation no
set message no
set gamelist yes
set analysis window yes
set theorywindow no
set commandwindow no
set panels yes
set geometry main width 0
set geometry main height 0
set geometry main xpos 20
set geometry main ypos 20
set geometry main max yes
set geometry game width 250
set geometry game height 200
set geometry game xpos 20
set geometry game ypos 20
set geometry game max no
set geometry analysis width 0
set geometry analysis height 400
set geometry analysis xpos 20
set geometry analysis ypos 20
set geometry analysis max no
set geometry hint width 0
set geometry hint height 450
set geometry hint xpos 20
set geometry hint ypos 20
set geometry hint max no
set geometry message width 0
set geometry message height 500
set geometry message xpos 20
set geometry message ypos 20
set geometry message max no
set geometry command width 0
set geometry command height 0
set geometry command xpos 20
set geometry command ypos 20
set geometry command max no
set geometry theory width 0
set geometry theory height 0
set geometry theory xpos 20
set geometry theory ypos 20
set geometry theory max no
set panelwidth 373
set fullscreen off
set gui showids on
set gui animation slide
set gui animation speed 6
set gui beep off
set gui dicearea off
set gui highdiefirst on
set gui illegal off
set gui showpips wastage
set gui dragtargethelp on
set gui usestatspanel on
set gui movelistdetail on
set gui grayedit on
set gui windowpositions on
set styledgamelist on

and when I start the CLI on it I see this:

Unknown keyword `annotation'.
Unknown keyword `message'..
Unknown keyword `gamelist'.
Unknown keyword `window'.
Unknown keyword `theorywindow'.
Unknown keyword `commandwindow'.
Unknown keyword `panels'.

(No game)

So the CLI version is complaining about commands it is not expecting, and they 
are
not in the "help set" output.
On the other hand, it is NOT complaining about commands like "set panelwidth"
or "set fullscreen", because they are "visible" in CLI (proff by "help set") 
even if they
make sense only in GUI exe.

In commands.inc some commands are in #if USE_GTK ...

Removing all the #if USE_GTK in command.inc would probably solve the warning 
issue,
but not the pfact that savingfrom CLI will lose GUI settings and the fact that 
"help set" in CLI
will show GUI-only commands.
