Summary0003902: No feedback on server launch
DescriptionWhen trying to get the server the launch, there is no feedback given on the output of the program being called. This makes it very difficult to debug.

It would be much better if something like QProcess was used to redirect the output of the server launch to a window until the connection completes (or is canceled).

It may also be helful to redirect input so that if the server launch needs some input (like a password) it can be inputted by the user.

With the fix to bugs 3840 and 3901, one can now use the following command to start a server:
xterm -e ssh someserver /path/to/pvserver
An xterm window will pop up, asking for the password, and the window will stay as long as the server is running.

Redirecting input for ssh only works if we emulate a terminal, and that's not fun. Simply writing the password to stdout doesn't work because ssh doesn't read the password from stdin.

The output is already redirected.
