I'd call this more a gap in modern remoting functionality on Linux than anything else. With the prevalence of hardware encoding and decoding, there is little reason not to just send H.264 (or your choice of video codec) over the network. Not (just) to compensate for the kind of issue you mention, but also because it allows animations, videos, games, etc. to work over the network, and is likely to compress better than X11 anyway.
Actually, I believe NX already does this in the latest (proprietary) version, though I don't use it.
- vidarh 11y agoXPRA supports various encodings like this: http://xpra.org/ http://xpra.org/ But video codecs does not give the same experience as running apps that are actually written to take some care about what/how it updates. Not least because the artefacts when they can't keep up are less consistent with what I at least expect from a desktop environment.
