That's not possible. The GUI is just one view of the playlist controller. The 
playlist controller starts before the hypothetical GUI, if media is specified 
on the command line.

That would suck from usability perspective. The default settings, before the 
user closes the dialog, do not fetch anything anyway.

This is fixed in VLC 2.1.
