    4444The default graphics app will usually be called with the command-line argument ''--fullscreen'', which may be ignored.  However, it must respond to either of two possible additional command-line arguments:
    4545 * ''--retry_connect'' means that if the default graphics app is unable to connect to the BOINC Client via RPC, it should continue running and retry periodically.
    46  * ''--test'' mans that it should try to connect to the BOINC Client via RPC once, then exit immediately whether or not it succeeded.    It should not open a window or draw anything to the screen.  This is used by the BOINC Manager to test whether the RPC is blocked by a local software firewall; if so, most firewalls will then display a dialog so the user can approve it.

    4747 * When neither the ''--retry_connect'' or ''--test'' argument is passed, the default graphics app must return immediately with an error code of -107 if it can't connect to the BOINC Client via RPC.
