Actually I wrote --dry-run, --no-activate, --no-activation, --without-activ= ation on paper ... and then asked someone here what's the best:) Well, I think this option will be rarely used and I guess it is mainly for = use in scripts. Option name says exactly what it is doing. The name --dry-run in more generic, as user, I would expect it can be used = even for slot commands etc. If you have better name for it, no problem to change it still. Milan
