Subject: What is GR_CLIENT for?

Or rather why does the structure have 'next' and 'previous' fields...

GR_CLIENT holds a client's event chain, and shared-memory speedup stuff
for passing events and commands.  It also seems to be able to keep track
of a list of clients, each with unique IDs (file descriptors?).  I haven't
found code in which such a list is constructed, although GsDropClient() in
srvnet.c takes clients off of the list.

It looks like only one Nano-X client is permitted at the moment?  But this
is a client/server model, so I'm missing something, and I would be
grateful and filled with happiness if anyone can unconfuse me.

Many thanks -- Kaben.
