Octave is a Qt application. As such, certain options are handled by Qt,
for example -display, -geometry, -platform, -reverse, -session, and
-style.
So the above is interpreted as a standard Qt -display option, with the
same meaning as setting the DISPLAY environment variable. Since a
display named 'xyz' can't be opened, it looks like Octave silently
refuses to start.
