Doing X11 calls over a network could really be a nuisance for others. And
an archaic design IMHO.
I remember approx. 10 years ago a neighboring dept. at my work effectively
killed our 10 MB/s Ethernet segment with such traffic (due to a misconfigured
switch/router?). Running an ethernet analyzer showed a single X11 host-server
session occupied ~80% bandwidth. AFAICR, it was a Sun workstation.
A real PITA.
