vnc is not crap - its actually quite a lot faster over a modem connection than pure X when the app has a complicated graphical display. It also has the advantage that if a modem drops out or you want to move to a different machine, the session and all apps are still active on reconnect. Then there's the fact that it can be accessed by any java capable browser so the standalone vnc client is not even required. This works quite well through netscape. VNC is also a bit more secure than X, can use ssh, uses diffent ports so firewall does not have to pierced to at vulnerable X ports ... Oh, its also easier to understand for the inexperianced!, xhost and authorization can be a nightmare for X.
