Right, applications written for X can use remote X servers for display.
The same is true of XRDP.... it is for applications that are written for
Windows graphics calls to permit remote display.
Either way, if you want your applications to do any graphics, you have
to either use a graphics library or talk to the hardware yourself. And
if you use a graphics library, there are ways to remote the displays.
