My first thought is that if
myapp -display remotemachine:0
doesn't do what you want, and VNC is too slow, then you don't have
enough bandwidth for anything equivalent.
If redirecting the keyboard+mouse is sufficient (ie you don't need
to move the picture too) you might find x2x
ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/DEC/SRC/x2x/x2x-1.27.tar.gz
useful. It hasn't changed in years, and interacts in interesting ways
with multiple heads (last I heard it needed Xineramafication)
but I find it very useful to drive two computers on my desk
with one keyboard+mouse.
