As a side point, would it be possible to run an accelerated X client
with the nvidia drivers? eg, have a standard X server, and the X client
uses the nvidia drivers - would that result in a hardware accelerated
session (given a fast enough network)?

Hi,
Is it possible to run a complete Gnome desktop from a remote
location through ssh? I'm not talking about using vnc to watch a
remote desktop but actually run one remotely and only have it
displayed here.
Thanks,
Mark
Yes; the X Windowing System was designed as both a display and a
networking protocol. The X Server is where the video is displayed &
where the input (keyboard, mouse) comes from; the X clients are the
program(s) that are being displayed. Any or all of the X clients,
including the Desktop Environment / Window Manager, can be run on the
same host as the Server, or on remote hosts (as long as the remote
hosts have permission to access the X Server).
SSH also includes functionality to allow X11 forwarding through the
encrypted SSH connection.
