Are you familiar with X11? It is the 80's version of that concept. There's some downsides though to this model; it is pretty sensitive to network latency, especially.
I've been wanting to do a network transparent gui myself, and is one thing I might do with my crappy implementation once it is a little more complete. I'd make the display a little thicker though, with basic widgets being there so it can just communicate in higher level events. I also want the ability to detach and reattach elsewhere, ala gnu screen.
