Applications still need libgtk+ (as an example), because they're linked 
against it. You can ofcourse make a wrapper library
to send it to the X server which should then run the extension that 
handles widgets.
And when that is done, how are you going to seperate server side and 
client side toolkits?
You could write a seperate "private" library, which contains the client 
side stuff, and libgtk+ just being a wrapper to either of the methods.
But you can't leave the client side stuff in libgtk+ itself: it's a 
waste of memory.

It still means there's alot of work to be done before we get there, and 
I mean ALOT.
It _may_ be possible to do it like DRI, which also _may_ require less 
work, but it'll only work on the local machine anyways and so that is 
basically not an option.

I doubt it'll be usefull in the end.
