I can't say more than I have already said.

GUI components override the command-line arguments processing, the event 
loop, the timer management, and the file descriptor watching of the 
interpreter [1]. So they can only be loaded before anything else.

The solution I implemented for chosing the GUI component at runtime is 
the gb.gui component, that loads the component whose name is store in 
the GB_GUI environment variable.

Regards,

[1] i.e. they use the select() system call or one of the same family, 
and this can be done once per process only (roughly).
