Why not try it and see?  The GUI version will have to have one stack, 
so maybe you can look at a command line switch to make that invisible.  
There is a chance that the GUI version will choke in an environment 
without a GUI, I suppose.  You probably know how to tinker with 
something like this.

As an alternative, you might have the command-line version decide 
whether to run the GUI version or not.
