Description

We should make sure that we deal nicely with not being able to connect to OpenSpace (for example if it isn't open yet). One idea would be to add a 'connect/disconnect' button inside the viewer window under the logo. If the connection to OpenSpace fails, we could add a concise warning to the viewer window and add the ability to then explicitly connect once OpenSpace is open.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the current connection handling code in glue openspace, identify where connection failures occur, and implement a disconnect/connect button in the viewer window with appropriate warning messages.
