Except, the application without nogui would not start when called from
an SSH shell on the machine (like using PuTTY from Windows to start
it).
It immediately crashes with a little text messafe referencing the GUI
part.

But if I enable nogui and rebuild the application, then it will run
both started from an SSH terminal and from a terminal in the GUI
environment.

So Interfaces was needed to get rid of the wsmenus linking errors and
nogui to make it run in all types of terminal.
Both necessary.
