Okay, I guess I'm still having some trouble getting a
handle on the whole common/gui client division.  I
thought it had more to do with different calling
requirements the GUIs had, rather than being
functionally different.

I presume like me most people only use one client, so
becoming garbage on switching probably wouldn't
matter.  OTOH, this wasn't a problem for me until the
dialog got reworked in gui-gtk2 and the accelerators
for the tabs were dropped.  Eventually (if no one else
does it first) I'll try to figure out the GTK2 GUI and
how to restore the accelerators myself.
