+From the Quassel wiki at:
+http://bugs.quassel-irc.org/projects/quassel-irc/wiki
+
+Quassel is a program to connect to an IRC network. It has the unique
+ability to split the graphical component (quasselclient) from the part
+that handles the IRC connection (quasselcore). This means that you can
+have a remote core permanently connected to one or more IRC networks and
+attach a client from wherever you are without moving around any
+information or settings. However, Quassel can easily behave like any
+other client by combining them into one binary which is referred to as
+"Quassel Mono".
+
+In simpler terms, the "monolithic" client is a response to requests for
+a client that behaves like every other IRC client. The monolithic client
+(GUI) is what makes the connections to the IRC networks. In normal
+operation, the client (GUI) connects to a core, it is completely
+incapable of connecting to anything else. The core receives connections
+from clients, and makes connections to the IRC networks, it also handles
+logging (currently everything gets put in the database).
