Can I suggest an extensions to this
If the backend becomes available after the frontend is started and the
frontend is waiting on the select a backend screen, then the frontend
should autoconnect to the backend.
As atm i quit the frontend and restart so that I don't have to enter
the pin stuff when I select it again
Thanks
