Yeah, Joao tried it and couldn't get it to work, and I wasn't much help at the
time.  It certainly did work at one time, else I wouldn't have documented it
in the code (scenario #3 in tk.c:init_server()).  My first few tries were
unsuccessful, but then..  I got it to work, yeah!  (my wife's asleep & I can't
get the dogs to cheer, oh well. :)

OK, so here's the scoop.  In one window:

$ plserver -name plserver -client_name x01c

and then in another:

$ x01c -dev tk -server_name plserver

... ta-da!

I remember doing considerable debugging in this mode b/c I had access to the
Tcl shell in window #1, so I could find out lots of nice info that way.

If you start up another plserver & x01c, the main window names become
"plserver #2" and "x01c #2", etc.
