Re: X11 and Heavy loadbalancing?

Hi,

I *think* I understand what choice15@gmx.de is trying to do.  The normal
term for what he is attempting is host integration.  This is where
host-based applications are integrated into web-based applications.  The
most common example of this is the IBM product Host On Demand.

The obvious way to do host integration with X Windows is to use the same
approach as HOD.  Use a java applet implementation of X (WeirdX) and place
the applet in a web page.  This approach has the same problem as HOD - a
very heavy applet download.
