> I think the main complaint about using a protocol like RDP or VNC is that they require the remote side to manage an entire desktop.
No, they don't. VNC and RDP work perfectly fine without the root window.

How can one get a rootless VNC window that allows resizing? Or a rootless VNC in general?

I haven't figured out how to do that with VNC but a year ago I switched to xpra and it does that so nicely that I have also almost completely quit using screen.
