Good point.
The GUI should never use "daemon".

The goal is to conceal the fact that there are two programs.
We use "BOINC Manager" to refer to both.
Where we need to refer to the client, we call it "client".

works when mousing over the input boxes. Everywhere else in BOINC Manager's
menus the mouse-over works over the text as well.

Further, "Run daemon?"... is it wise to put it like that? Does the general
public know what a daemon is?
For us translators, it's even more difficult. Should we just use the word
'daemon' if it also exists in our language, or immediately describe what it
means, like "background running program"?
