Stephen, If you're running remotely over a slow link, make sure accessibility (Assistive technology support) is disabled and at-spi-registryd isn't running. Since Ian isn't having significant problems using VNC and I'm not having problems running the latest Solaris GNOME development via Sun Ray over broadband, I suspect that you're correct that chatty X traffic may be the problem. Turning off accessibility and at-spi-registryd should reduce the number of round trips between the X server and client.
