I understand your point. However I'm also thinking like "is it this or
that"...

I mean if you consider the OpenOffice server controlling in wiki, you can
start/stop/restart it any time you want. But it's also true that this is not
going to happen frequently, most of the time users will have autoStart set
to true, in which case OOo server will be running from XE startup until
someone stops it / XE is shutdown.

An important scenario would be,

* I start XE normally (without OOo server) and since OOo server is not
running, wysiwyg editor will be configured not to display the officeimporter
fileUpload tab. And then an admin starts OOo server, how long will it take
for this information to propagate to wysiwyg?

As marius says, if it's only a refresh that is required, I think we should
go with a configuration parameter rather than cluttering up GWT service API.

WDYT?

+1.
