Sort of yes.

The problem is that we need to be very clear about what sort
of grouping we want. Functional grouping is orthogonal to
GUI-/NON-GUI grouping. Hence:

client-specific-non-gui
client-specific-gui
generic-non-gui
generic-gui

Now what ?

I am always in favour of sensible refactoring and I am your
worst nitpicking clean-up nightmare (Sian can probably attest
to that :-)

As much as is practical, yes.

Things in client/business/ should be *quite* GUI independant
or else I am to blame for that.
