Hi,

if I try geom command with nonexistent class, geom prints its usage:

root@grimm2 ~/# geom blahblah
usage: geom blahblah help
        geom blahblah list [name ...]
        geom blahblah status [-s] [name ...]
        geom blahblah load [-v]
        geom blahblah unload [-v]

So it leads to confusing typing errors if somebody write bad class name, 
but geom prints it's usage instead of error message.

Is there any chance to fix it or is it "a feature"? Can geom find all 
available classes and print error if command is used with nonexistent one?
