-headless is useful for batch scripts. It implies -invisible, and strictly
ignores any GUI environment. For example, with -headless environment variable
DISPLAY for X11 does not bother anymore, while the program still respects
it even in case of -invisible.

According to the comment in the test code, it is supposed to specify not
to check whether the program's process already exists, i.e., to allow its
user to launch one more process.
