        I have seen this work so I know it's possible and it's relatively
easy to do. You'll need to create another pfPipe (use pfMultipipe) so
you can have a separate GL window for the GUI. Pass this extra pipe to
epfInitGUI and you should be all set but as I recall, there may be some
problems initializing the font manager that you'll have to figure out. To
summarize:

        pfMultipipe(2);
        pfConfig();
        pfInitPipe(pfGetPipe(1), initGUIPipe);

        pfInitGUI(pfGetPipe(1));

void
initGUIPipe(pfPipe *p)
{
    /* Open a connection to the graphics server on a remote machine */
    dglopen();

    winopen("");
}

Let us know how it turns out.
