I guess so--if we keep it. But the set of things it does is not really coherent. It turns off all init files; it also turns off various frame features such as the menu bar and tool bar, it turns off tool tips, and it selects a different type of cursor. There is nothing particularly natural or desirable about this combination. I see no reason to have a short option for it. Perhaps we should just remove it. Why was -Q installed, anyway?
