Why is it that you consistently report bugs without mentioning the packages they pertain to?

I guess it should not be displayed because when called without arguments, it just sits there waiting for string input on stdin to be parsed as filenames while displaying a "blank" window?

Indeed.
NoDisplay seems to adress such a situation. IMHO

Fixed in 4.1.0.
