As I said above, once many apps lose network transparency we'll be left with a two-tier system, as on Mac OS X. So in fact I won't be able to keep on relying on X. Yes I also manage many servers, and I find it useful to run graphical programs remotely (view-viewer, eog, even firefox). Running an entire remote desktop is not an alternative.

And I still don't see why do you think you'll be left with a system like MacOSX (where there is no per-app remoting solution) instead of a system like Windows (where there is).
