Yes, that sounds right. Sharing as much code as possible between the
GUI and the CLI would probably be a good idea here.

I'll leave the code in the present state since it is non-critical and
broken anyway. If you give up I think we should use the patch attached
to the original bug report, and pray that it works. It seemed so.
