I have implemented a "Hello" counterpart to the "GoodBye" config option in
the server.
This way the LCDproc server screen does not show on startup of LCDd
until the first client connects.
At this point the Hello message will be deleted and the 
well known server screen will take over (with its well nkown behaviour).

This should help with your issue on startup.
For the rest: Live with it (or keep at least one client running or
stop the server before stopping the client).

Regards
Peter
