given that the clients run on the central box and the server is in front of the user, moving work from the server to the client concentrates the load, which is not a good thing (assuming that remote ability is maintained)

yet oddly it's not much different then what X windows does when people try to use it to run 'thin clients'. The bulk of the application logic, memory usage, cpu usage, and the like always is going to be on the side of were the application is.
Is it going to be a big win for you to distribute the rendering of the applications?
It seems to me that the sort of applications were the bulk of the resources is put into the final rendering (video games, video playback, and the like) are exactly the sort of things that X11 is terrible at and is all done by direct rendering when possible.
