Distributed GUI

Hello,
I want to develop an application which GUI will consist of distributed objects.
I get unintended results - what am I doing wrong?

--------------------------------------- code snips:

***** client:
- (byref id) aquaView {
if (!aquaView) {
aquaView = [[NSTextField alloc] initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(0, 0, 300, 20)];
[aquaView setStringValue:@"Distant view! Yupiii!"];
}
return aquaView;
}

***** server (where the view should appear):
      id target=[[NSConnection
   rootProxyForConnectionWithRegisteredName:toBeAddedName
                                       host:nil] retain];
      if (target==nil) {
         NSLog(@"Agent '%@' doesn't exist",toBeAddedName);
         return nil;
      }

// add new tab
NSTabViewItem* tab = [[NSTabViewItem alloc] initWithIdentifier:toBeAddedName];
[tab setLabel:toBeAddedName];
[view addTabViewItem:tab];

      // tab's view should be aquaView of the distant object
      id targetView = [target aquaView];
      NSLog(@"Target view: %@",targetView);
      NSLog(@"Target NSTextField value: %@",[targetView stringValue]);
      [tab setView:targetView];

---------------------------------------

When I run the client and the server, I get:

2007-09-30 10:11:13.151 LLDesk[4910] Target view: <NSTextField: 0x3193f0>
2007-09-30 10:11:13.151 LLDesk[4910] Target NSTextField value: Distant view! Yupiii!

So everything seems OK. But when I click on the newly created tab, the application simply hangs.

I suppose the whole thing has something to do with notifications and should be done somehow else, but I don't know how :(


Thanks for any advices, I'm totaly lost :(
