If you can re-use what is already written then you can do it without
problems, thought the current PyGTK gui based its looking on an older
MyServer GUI written in C++ and FLTK and it is not very beautiful to
see.

What I really care about is that any logic is completely sepated by the
GUI itself, if you will dig inside the misc/py_control_client directory
you can see a python implementation for the MyServer control protocol.
For the GUI I expect the same, to develop two components a python
library and the GUI that simply use it.  In this way different UIs can
be developed in future but still they use the same logic.

I am UTC+1 too.  Different time zones is another disadvantage of real
time communication and another point for the mailing list :)
