AFAICT, the slowdowns affect GTK+ apps much more than Qt apps. I know that
the last time I tested running apps over ssh -X on a slow pipe, firefox was
unusable while konqueror worked reasonably well. Modern application/widget
programmers are just not optimizing stuff for non-local connections, since so
few people do that these days.

If you meant "vncserver", then that's exactly what it's supposed to do. This
is by design, as providing a new virtual Display is easier than
screen-scraping an existing Display and using XTest to manipulate it. Since
people like to manipulate existing Displays and the X clients on them, they
invented x11vnc (and xmove, but xmove, while a neat idea, is too @#$%^ing
slow.)

Wow. It's been a while since I messed with NX, but something is wrong here.
x11vnc on Fedora 7 (no x11vnc RPM there, oddly enough) required installing
all the X development packages, then compiling from the tarball. About 30
minutes IIRC.

Interesting. I'll have to check out that extension later.

I don't think -C helped that much when I tried it, but I didn't add -c
blowfish .
