`man qvm-run` gives misleading documentation of `--gui` and `--no-gui` about 2 hours ago

AI Summary: The `man qvm-run` page contains inaccurate documentation for the `--gui`, `--no-gui`, and `--nogui` options. The current description states they control GUI forwarding, but a developer clarified that their actual purpose is to determine whether to wait for the GUI session to start. The issue requests an update to the man page to reflect the correct functionality of these flags.
