no x11 support for graphicsmagick?

hi,

today I installed graphicsmagick for the first time in order
to evaluate it against imagemagick (seems to be much faster for
several operations).

now I do not find the `display' command (or `animate', for that matter)
in the `gm' help list -- they simply are missing.

consequently, `gm display something.jpg'

yields "Unrecognized command 'display'"

the provided variants of the package are

q8: Use 8 bits per pixel quantum (default)
q16: Use 16 bits per pixel quantum
q32: Use 32 bits per pixel quantum
universal: Build for multiple architectures

especially, there is no 'with_x11' variant or something. 

with `imagemagick' the default is to use x11 (but there is a 
variant `no_x11' to switch it off).

question: is there a way to get the `display' command working?
should the default installation not be with x11?

best regards,

joerg
