   X11 is very powerful.   
   It can do a lot of things.   
      
   However, much like Konqueror, which can also do a lot of things,   
   people have no clue how to exploit the abilities, nor do they care.   
      
   They can install TightVNC in 4 seconds and be connected to other   
   computers.   
      
   All that export DISPLAY crap is for geeks.
