> What about Wayland, will it have network transparency?

I know that you're joking but if I understand this(*) well, there is a patch for network transparency(RDP) submitted for inclusion in Wayland.

Now, the remaining question is/will be: is Wayland "native" network transparency as good as using NX/X in a WAN?

Of course as long as the toolkits keep an X backend, you can also use NX over XWayland over Wayland if the native Wayland network transparency isn't good enough in a WAN.
