Hi there,
I'm not on this list but I just wanted to drop a hint that I managed to put pd in a state where you can disconnect (kill) the GUI and reconnect it again.

It is (yet) rather bumpy, but again I am pretty impressed what you can make out of puredata.
Best regards Jonas
P. S.: Years ago I made a "Final Countdown" patch for puredata which played the so named music video just in time for year change, you can find it here: http://jbechtel.de/site/Tools/Silvester-Uhr/ (but it requires custom compilation of ffmpeg)
