I can't see any other uses for a --restart option other than as an ugly 
workaround for bugs and that's the last thing I'd like too see - users 
starting to automate a restart of OpenVPN GUI to work around my bugs! I 
would prefer to hear if people are having problems with OpenVPN GUI and 
fix the bugs instead.

Do you currently have any other problem with OpenVPN GUI that you want to 
use the --restart option to work around?

Same for --stop, I wouldn't like to add such an option to work around 
bugs, but I might consider adding it if you have any other "real" uses for 
it.

One use I could see is if you don't want to have OpenVPN GUI running while 
you are not connected you might want to have two short-cuts on your 
desktop, one to start the VPN and one to stop. The start short-cut can 
already be achived by using the --connect option, but currently you can't 
create a stop short-cut, the user would have to click the OpenVPN GUI icon 
and select Exit.
