Simple example, why this is bad: the gnome screen saver

This means that if app A wants to disable the gnome
screen saver it has to implement dbus support although
it doesn't need, nor supports gnome. Not only that,
app A has to run on the same machine like the gnome
screen saver. Thanks a lot for this well thought off design!
at the same time, running something like mplayer on machine A to display
on machine B is rather pointless...
Uh! Wasn't that the whole idea of network transparency of X. You could
run an application on one machine (usually a server) and display it on
another machine (usually a system with less processing power).
To take your example. A 400 MHz K6 is more than adequate to browse the
web, do e-mail and do wordprocessing and other office type applications.
But it isn't very good at displaying full screen video. But, you can
hook it up to a more powerful server to serve video to it.
ARGH!
