Nearly, but not quite. If the splash screen is active when gnuserv 
recieves the command to open a new file then something strange happens. 
The new file is shown, but the mode line shows the brackets (like 
[(Emacs-Lisp hs)] for recursive editing. There is a 'V' on the modeline 
so Viper should be in vi mode.

However when any key is typed it is inserted in the buffer instead of 
executed by viper. When the splash screen finishes the brackets 
disappears and now everything works as expected. A workaround for this 
problem is to turn off the splash screen.

So maybe this should be tested again with emacsserver? Sorry for not 
beeing clear enough before.
