   Sure, most of us have used XDMCP, SSH tunnelling to start full X11   
   sessions, or the DISPLAY environment to run xeyes on a colleague's   
   workstation, I never tried LBX.

   Does anyone genuinely use X11 remotely?  Remote sessions for Wayland can   
   be done with VNC/NX/RDP/SPICE/QXL surely?
