Am I the only one would wants to scream SPICE since the beginning of
this discussion?
We could have a virtualization-free userspace SPICE server and I
believe that could be an excellent replacement to VNC, with
significantly better performance and features (stuff like sound,
anyone?).
Richard, you're even specifying virtualization! SPICE is already here!
AFAIK SPICE is just faster, better VNC with more features. It doesn't
allow you to remote a single app, doesn't work transparently through
ssh, and doesn't allow multiple servers and clients connecting in ad
hoc ways at the same time.
Rich.
