Bug Description
The documentation for inkscape's "-g" parameter says, "Try to use X server (even if $DISPLAY is not set)." This does not make sense when inkscape is built using GTK/Quartz on Mac OS X. In this case, the application does not use X. The default behavior for inkscape in this environment should be to present its GUI even without $DISPLAY set.

The current version of the man page says:
-g, --with-gui
Try to use the GUI (on Unix, use the X server even if $DISPLAY is not set).
