everyone's environment is different. most of the time, when I do a remote X
display, it's just one window that I need. I use it for:
- 'borrowing' a co-workers application that they have installed on their
workstation
- using a GUI tool on a headless box that may be down the hall or on the
other side of the country. (usually on the other side of a firewall).
- impressing people by running a window manager from one box to manage
terminals displayed from another box, while running monitoring displays
from several other boxes. :) (I can envision installations where one has
dedicated 'window manager servers' and 'web browser servers', which do
little more than serve up a particular application).
and for these cases, displays of individual X apps are much more efficient
and usable than a VNC session (VNC has a poor update algorithm).
but I've certainly used VNC at times as well (usually only when there was a
Windows box involved as a client or server tho).
Not trying to gainsay your point, just making note of my own experiences. :)
