Is there a reason for this or is it just "the way it got coded"? It helps me somewhat to be able to have rpc to the running GUI bitcoin client. Either that or the priv key import/export *hint*

Also, this may not be the right place to ask, but why the move from wx to qt? I know a better GUI was long due, but I happen to know and like wx (have no quarrel with qt, mind you) and I don't think there's much if anything that you can do with one and not with the other...
