Yes it makes sense.
Maybe having the client wait say 10 seconds for the GUI to be visible so
the user can see what is happening might be good.
Also, and I'm guessing here, for the DCD to work jpskmail needs to
listen for a few seconds anyway.
On the subject of DCD i have my setting still at 3 is there a better
setting 

If I get a chance today I will install fldigi 3.10 and the Linux pskmail
client on a laptop.
