There is another option: set up an LBX connection. This requires a process
(called LBX) that runs on the machine running the normal X server; you then
connect your clients to LBX.
LBX is "Low Bandwidth X" and is a protocol-specific compression algorithm which
works reasonably well. It may help to use normal compress on the result, but I
doubt it.
The downside is there is no automatic method of setting it up, unlike for ssh
-X
