Network transparency is been touted as X's killer feature for decades at this point. I've been using linux as my primary os for a very long time, and have NEVER used it. I find it amusing that the default way to do desktop share in ubuntu (and most of the other distros) is vnc not X.

More to the point, I find that VNC has one huge advantage over X sharing. When I move my computer, all my programs don't get closed.

I'm never sure why something like 'screen' for X applications isn't standard (I suppose that is what VNC is..)

I have used it, for a few days, but easily could have used VNC or some like it instead.
