yea, preferably via sockets so it also works over a network.

IMHO it's bad approach to do it like that. GUI doesn't need the windowid, it 
should just do control() calls to switch fullscreen and stuff, We should just 
throw away the initial gui window with the mplayer logo inside, it causes too 
much probs.
