As I already said, it's far better in the sense that it forces you to cut the 
thing in 2 parts, the one that does networking stuff, and the one that does the 
GUI stuff. It is Bad (tm) IMO to do anything GUI related in a network stack 
even if "yeah it's userland and I can do it...". Even if a userland stack
permits to use the same binary it's not a good idea to open a window from 
inside the net_server team. This should be done either by the same binary if 
it's run as a program (then it should attach to some shared memory or 
query a port), or by another bin.
