everyone keeps talking about how VNC is the solution for network transparancy, but VNC requires that you have the entire desktop installed on the system you are accessing.

isn't that already the case with modern GNOME apps anyway? E.g. a lot of them depend on things like DBus session services - which isn't X11 aware (though it could be) AFAIK and thus it requires running a desktop on the remote system.

Not really. It's been mentioned, but mostly people have been talking about RDP and SPICE because VNC is unlikely to ever be a good protocol for transparent remote access.

This is so silly. We're talking about software that doesn't yet exist picking a protocol for network transparency; why would anyone assume that it would directly copy implementation details of existing software that's designed for a different purpose?
