There are cases where the server doesn't "sit next to" the keyboard,
mouse, and monitor. I use VNC for my "hardware" on headless machines
that are thousands of miles from my keyboard. And of course the
keyboard is virtual as well, so I have many of them.
X makes this easy.
The question is what are the ressources you want to share?
Now the ressources shared seems to be the keyboard, mouse and
monitor.
I just want to share the desktop and the clipboard; the X server allows
me to do that.
Why would someone want to share his monitor, keyboard an mouse
on the net? That does not seems useful.
You're probably right, it's not useful for you. As for the millions of
the rest of us who have found X useful in the last 2+ decades ... well,
we must be wrong, eh?
We await your development of a Properly Named Windowing System.
