What I would like to hear is what applications people use remotely? And over what size network bandwidth?
When I tried openoffice, firefox, or matlab.. it was a lesson in frustration with odd crashes and weird drawing glitches. This was on 100 mbit switched networks and very bad on older 10 mbit networks.

gnucash, revelation, liferea. Basically anything where syncing the datastore between systems is problematic or undesirable...(and network filesystems aren't available/practical) or needing to boot a laptop to be able to get at it isn't the best.
What applications do people use?

I X-over-ssh from home to my work computer over a low latency MAN and basically run the same things that I run while I'm at work.
The only thing that I have to actually use gvfs and run locally is the video player and the local chrome browser to watch youtube.
The home computer is much older and overall less capable than my work machine.
