Yes, such networked GUIs assume low latency, just as most of the web assumes a working internet connection. ;) This is not a solution for offline GUIs, and so wouldn't work as a general-purpose GUI toolkit. I wonder if offline is a niche worth serving these days however.
clip A couple of comments on the point above. 1. Could it not work for offine GUIs, assuming the server and client were on the same machine, in which case one would hope the latency is low. For example X11 works locally without a network connection. 2. Based on your "I wonder if offline is a niche ...." I get the impression you live in a part of the world that has more reliable internet access than where I am from :o)
