I may be misunderstanding, but I'm not sure I want a "remote desktop" where every process runs on the remote.

I want the original promise of X, where I choose where apps run and they are displayed locally:

• Run CAD circuit layout app on Pro server.

• Run Adobe Premiere on GPU server.

• Run distributed `make` on build cluster.

And of course, I want to be billed in resource-seconds, not per hour of a host made available to me.
