Instead I've asked admin to temporarily open access to the server and now
everything works fine. However, I think that command-line option for gnomeicu
to start without trying to connect would be great (or command-line option to
specify server/port to connect to). Just a suggestion.

There were no such file until I successfully started gnomeicu first time :-(
And I didn't find description of the file in documentation.

Now, when you've explained it, it's possible to do it. But it seems that there 
is no description of the configuration file in the documentation, so it's
impossible to do without help from somebody who knows.

Thanks again.

BR,
