I'm not sure I've ever seen window manager / desktop environment run over X forwarding.

SSH is probably a lot less hassel and CPU usage tends to be pretty low.

There was something called 'network audio', maybe NAS (network audio server) which was intended for forwarding sound to remote X clients. You also might want to look at nxproxy and nomachine's other software. Cheers, - Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
