You got me when I was cheating. ;) Actually I found out it's the same
in VST for Pd (on Win, but also using vstserver): You can still
control the plugin through Pd's internal messages and the actual GUI
only shows when you tell it to do so. So yes, my argument wasn't
fully valid, sorry. 

So maybe it's like this: eye-candy GUI is fine, but please do also
allow some kind of textual control using maybe D-Bus, which I don't
know, or maybe OSC, which already is common and accepted in the music
world, or something else.

Ciao
