Bug Description
Passing options to applications make the application complain about unrecognized options.
For example:
============
$ system-settings -testability --desktop_
system-settings: invalid option -- 't'
system-settings: invalid option -- 'e'
system-settings: invalid option -- 's'
system-settings: invalid option -- 't'
system-settings: invalid option -- 'a'
system-settings: invalid option -- 'b'
system-settings: invalid option -- 'i'
system-settings: invalid option -- 'l'
system-settings: invalid option -- 'i'
system-settings: invalid option -- 't'
system-settings: invalid option -- 'y'
============
QUbuntu should just ignore any option it doesn't recognize.
