  Personally, I'd rather do things the other way around -- have the client
start a server.  (after all, the client is where users go first to play
the game).  We could do this in the same process (is the server-control
thingy a modular widget?) or in a separate one--I think I prefer the
second option, since the client could then be exited without wreaking havoc
server-side.  [ maybe a screen-like mechanism, whereby you could detach the
server from the GUI and reattach, would be useful?]
