qrexec feature request: send this over qrexec to the net qube I am connected to / sys-whonix hardcoded / sys-whonix unexpected autostart
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/qubes-devel/DEQNltD2_kc
Start sdwdate-gui [5] [6], which is a systray by default in Whonix-Gateway.
Due to sdwdate-gui, Qubes-Whonix who use multiple Whonix-Gateway [7] should note updated instructions for multiple Whonix-Workstation [8] due introduction of sdwdate-gui. Essentially, Whonix-Workstation's using any Whonix-Gateway named other than sys-whonix need to configure their Whonix-Workstation by declaring the name of their Whonix-Gateway VM.
Not following these instructions would lead to the following confusion. Someone who didn't start sys-whonix, starting an AppVM using sys-whonix-two would wonder why sys-whonix gets started. It would get started by Qubes qrexec. The sdwdate-gui entry for that AppVM would be registered in sys-whonix's sdwdate-gui rather than in sys-whonix-two's sdwdate-gui.

As discussed, solution would be a new qrexec feature send this over qrexec to the NetVM I am connected to.
This would also be a better than https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/4117.
