I dunno. When you get right down to it, most remote X these days
(i.e. except for the dwindly miniority of apps that use core fonts) is
almost nothing but RENDER traffic and pixmaps: GlyphSets being hurled
across the network left right and centre. As long as they don't throw
*that* away, I think it won't suck. (If they take the VNC approach,
it will suck mightily.)
