VK:
Here's how I think Kaboodle should start up:
1. Draw the GUI. Services, Groups, etc.
2. Show the "Detecting Network..." Messagebox.
3. Activate the Gnutella client.
4. Petition the network for a NID to see if another Kaboodle
instance is already running. This is your most recent
addition as part of "NID synchronization".
5. If something responds with a valid NID, load that NID
into the GUI and end.
6. If nothing responds to #4, ping the subnet.
7. OS discovery on what responds.
8. VNC service discovery on devices of type "computer".
Right now, #4 is running before #1. I think it should
be an easy fix to just adjust this startup order.
