Yes, the "=" shouldn't be required (yet) anywhere, I think!

I think Kurt even promised to *NOT* make it defunct
(but still "deprecated").
It says in the NEWS:
o Long-named options with arguments such as `--vsize' now use the
`--name=VALUE' form; the old `--name VALUE' is deprecated.
o New command line option `--gui' to specify the graphical user
interface under Unix. Currently, possible values are `X11' (the
(default) and `GNOME', provided that GNOME support is available.
Command line options \`-g' and `--gnome' are defunct.
which seems clear enough to me. -gui GNOME never existed to be
deprecated!
