Remote X pretty well sucks in the real world. Aside from speed issues
there is the little problem of firewalls filtering out X connections.
If you've got ssh running then you can tunnel the X connection through
the ssh connection, which fixes the firewall problem, but it makes the
speed problem worse. And getting ssh plus X forwarding working is not
something I want to have to hassle with when my remote database is down.
If you are thinking of telnet-based remote admin then I suggest you get
out your curses man page and do up a curses GUI. (No smiley... I'd
seriously prefer that to something that depends on remote X.)
