For low bandwith I would recommend to use a thightvnc server (in the early days I debugged lazarus this way in a sparc connecter through a isdn line) >> The latter I can confirm as dog slow.

Even for other gtk2 apps I see a slowdown (compared too running locally).

I plan for .28 to find a way of reducing the amount of traffic between a LCL app and the X server. >> When using a VNCserver, it should work more smooth, since all is handled >> "locally" and only display changes are copied ove the LAN. > > I'll investigate, but the number of systems set up here for VNC is > limited unless it's needed for something special.
