X is a whole different model from windows. instead of remotely displaying a whole screen, I like to ssh into the remote machine and forward my X connection over ssh. Then I can run X clients (apps) on the remote machine and display them locally. If you stay away from pixmap-based GTK+ themes, it's pretty quick even over my 2mb/s wireless connection on my laptop. gvim, for example, is blazing fast displayed remotely. most of the time I can't tell a performance difference, remote vs. local. think about it, why would you want the whole desktop drawn over the network? you probably only want to run a couple X clients remotely.
