There are alternatives for GUI applications. One is to use VNC or one of

This is not a hack at Gus, but ...
Why does everybody bring up VNC when talking about how bad X11 is over
remote networks? VNC is *much* worse for every application I have ever
cared about. And not by a little bit, either.
The other is to use
FreeNX. See <https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/freenx-knx> for initial
details and NoMachine <http://www.nomachine.com> for a demo. FreeNX is
surprisingly usable over a 56kbps connection.
Uh, yes. Looking at the protocol description ... wow!

That's what you need to do, but, man, that code must suck to maintain.
*Everything* is effectively a special case.
Despite these, you are much better off learning to use the command line
tools to do remote admin work.
Agreed.
