oh don't be silly - unless some software literally ADVERTISES a service you
can't do squat diddly to connect to it and do anything. you have to EXPLICITLY
create a remove server service... and the ecore_evas_extn stuff never does
remote services - it's machine-local only as it relies on shmmem to share pixel
data.

1.7.2 made u AND pthreads and ecore-con? this was only in trunk (efl tree and
ecore tree prior to merge) or... should only have been. ?
