Actually, X in itself is designed to run to run remotely too. The terms are a little upside-down though. The X server should run on the "client" machine, the X server provides the GUI, but a software can run remotely, and connect to your X server. Example: I was designing MSI (Medium Scale Integrated) circuits with CADENCE CAD software at Budapest University of Technology while I was sitting at home. At home I had my X server, on the university big server the CADENCE was running, and I just needed to set proper environment variables to redirect CADENCE's GUI to my X server. And this was all running through a classical 56K baud modem setup!!! It worked pretty well! It was responsive!
