> These days a significant number of X11 apps just render _everything_ "server-side" as bitmaps and then send them over the wire to the client to composite them.

Inferring from the quotation, I take it you mean application server-side (instead of display server-side)? Just confirming.

Exactly. If GP doesn't even know how X11 works, then the opinion probably shouldn't carry a lot of weight.

The "server" in X11 is the display that's sitting in front of you, not the application running on a remote workstation.
