This went through my mind too so I'm glad to hear a vote in this 
direction from somebody else.  I also agree with the semantics of your 
boolean -- you should have to explicitly set this to have this code 
run.  My rationale for this is that I tend to view my work as Python 
first and would use Python libraries for my networking rather than 
PySide if possible.

If I don't hear any ideas to the contrary, I'll probably put this in a 
patch in the next day or so.
