I should point out that its in early stages, there are only 4 or 5 synths
ported / developed, so I think its too early to tell if theres any nasty
corner cases, and were still working in the fine points of the spec. Shows
promise though.

Its certainly easier if you only have one toolkit per process, but its not
an absolute requirement. The reasons for wanting to run UIs in another
process are also philosophical. The extra modularity is nice and it means
users can drop in thier own UIs if they prefer (eg. for terminal
controllers, control surfaces or things like pd).
