Thanks for the nice explanation.
IMHO it is not much effort to fold that remote-control-ness into a few
lines of code inside soffice.bin itself that we could run with a test
parameter, and rid ourselves of the separate remote-control process and
make things easier to debug (modulo the basic mess ;-) at the same time.
I guess we should add an 'easy hack' for some gdb / python goodness to
expand / annotate Basic stack frames prettily in the debugger too ;-)
[ we can but wish ].

Michael.
