Which is annoying when so many GUIs use effects that require server instead of 
display-side compositing... Qt apps at least (every time I have to figure out 
which one works with GLX and which one requires EGL; GTk *may* be a bit more 
graceful in this aspect).

To the OP: nowadays, most of the time when I want to do stuff on my Linux rig 
from my Mac I use VNC (TigerVNC for the X11 server "plugin" and viewer). 
Overkill in a sense and remote copy/paste is an issue but you don't have to 
worry about support for graphics protocols. It's the other way round that I'm 
more likely to use remote X11, because I have much less screen real estate on 
the Linux rig than on the Mac.
