No, you just use gnuclient in such case.
As far as I can tell, the only situation where you
_must_ use gnuclientw is in a shortcut where you might
have been trying to do gnuclient -q (if it would
work). Aside from shortcuts, you never need
gnuclientw at all, as you can pass the -q argument to
gnuclient successfully in any other case (at least in
any other that I have encountered).
Some folks may regard gnuclientw as a convenience in
non-shortcut cases because it is somewhat simpler than
gnuclient -q. True, but, by itself, hardly worth
introducing a separate version of gnuclient and then
having to keep in mind the relationship between the
two. Clearly this dichotomy _has_ caused confusion;
but it need not have done so had the function been
explained better.
A danger that does loom is that additional arguments
which do make sense in a drag and drop shortcut may be
introduced. Rather than do anything heroic with
gnuclient to address such an issue, I would advocate
the solution I suggested with a batch file and a PIF
for the shortcut. With that approach, we really do
not need gnuclientw at all (indeed, never did).
