Of course, but you'd think some of the respondents here have barely let 
go of telnet.

X11 is famously insanely chattery and requires a fast, jitter free link. 
Try running it on a machine overseas - yes, you can finagle things but 
it's still awful due to the core design of X. The network design that X 
expects no longer exists for the most part.

waypipe works fine AFAICT, no worse than RDP.
