As a pertinent aside here, I learned most of what I know about X from
Niall Mansfield's book The Joy of X (Addison Wesley, 1993). Great
overview, lots of good technical figures. Not an implementation guide,
by any means, but it made the X system quite clear to me, even though I
don't use it much. It's 15 years old now, but the basics of X haven't
changed, and copies can still be found on the used book sites online,
cheap. (~$3 US plus shipping.)

To me it sounds more like an X like protocol with an X server as plugin.

I understand that when using X you need a widget set at the X-Client
site and the X layer transports informations about the primitives the
widget set translates the application's GUIcontrol-definitions in,
while MSE transports the (supposedly somewhat limited)
GUIcontrol-definitions to the viewer's site and the "widget set" (or
whatever) is handled there (maybe the browser-defined "Web-Controls"
are used as a widget set).
Might be an interesting concept for the "additional GUI" we need here.
