Trust me, there's a great deal of interest in this within Sun, but Apple
really doesn't offer a way to achieve this. The only expedient we've
found is to install a VNC client on the SGD server, publish it as an
application, and enable the built-in Remote Desktop (VNC) server on the
Mac Definitely not optimal, but for now, it's all we've got.

I am very much interested in this as well. However, I doubt there is
a resonable solution for this problem, at least not as long Sun does
not develop a connector for MacOSX. I have no hope they will do this
anytime soon.
You can install X11.app on MacOSX to run X-applications. E.g. the
native SGD client is based on this X11 enhencement. But normal
Cocoa/Carbon (Mac) application have nothing to do with X, so the Unix
application X connector cannot be used to connect to a Mac and bring
the Mac application to e.g. a Windows box or mobile client.
I have experimented with VNC as well and finally gave up (no viable
solution). :-(
I have also looked into getting OSX apps via SGD...
I have been in talks with Apple @ great depth about this and basically
apple have said 'No, This can not be done in anyway shape or form due
to OSX NOT being a Multi-Concurrent-User OS' And they have NO
plans for any type of 'Terminal Services' type solution in the pipe lines
for OSX...
So I hit a brick wall with Apple, VNC did look like it would work, but
I agree with Andreas in that I could not find a viable solution...
The only other way I could see this working was a VMWare solution
using the VDA Kit... But again this solution is in No was supported by
Apple in any way...
