Second (3rd, 4th...) session. The X server runs on the same host as the
application, but instead of splitting between server and client at the
application display level it splits just above desktop display level.
(I.E virtual physical device (screen keyboard mouse).

Vector vs raster argument, sure sending "draw polygon 1,1 100,10" is
less bytes than sending the bitmap but when the desktop gets cluttered
sending draw polygon for each pixel is way more data than tiled raster.
