pinentry: minor annoyances with --help

This is concerning pinentry 0.7.1. For some reason, the output of
pinentry-foo --help goes to stderr, not stdout. This is inconsistent
with just about every other program out there. (Try ls, gpg.) If you
think about it, if I request help, printing the help information is not
an error.
Also, I sometimes get this, but only with the Qt version:
$ pinentry-qt --version/--help
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[real information follows...]
I think it should be possible to get clean help output without having a
properly(?) configured X, so maybe the initialization of the Xlib stuff
can be moved somewhere after the help handling code.
Thanks.
