I completely agree that separating the "client interface" from the main app is beneficial. Witness Rhythmbox that recently started shipping a lightweight rhythmbox-client program that allows one to control RB without loading a very large binary in the process. Now I can bind my multimedia keys to control RB without having to wait a few seconds before pressing a key takes effect. > It also gives us the ability to pre-load applications without showing > any interface.
