You're probably using bloated apps! I'm using my crappygui.d on 
remote X and it works quite well. Of course it is mostly 
rectangles of solid colors :)

I also just tried creating an OpenGL window remotely, and it 
performed reasonably well too, drawing some colorful triangles. I 
think I'll add some minimal support for creating opengl contexts 
to simpledisplay.d, that's useful stuff.

Eh, it is something I can live without, but would like to have. 
Applications just feel more complete when they blend in.
