Comment #1 on issue 72 by sean.p.d... at gmail.com: Don't open an Dialog on  
Mac in headless mode

This is even more important now with the MBP retina. A "headless" cog image  
always forces the GPU to discrete mode, draining the battery. I often use  
headless (e.g. for Jenkins jobs and web scrapers) and in addition to the  
distraction of the unneeded window popping up, the switch to the power  
hogging GPU for no reason is even more of a drag.
