Alright, I feel sort of strange now.
Kadischi used to actually pass --graphical by default if --text was not 
passed.
Somehow this was removed from kadischi.py.


I will retest this issue, and make Kadischi send --graphical as default 
when no display.opts is sent from Kadischi.
I totally overlooked this expecting it to still be there.

Thanks.
