What do you mean when you say "neither was X11"? X11 most definitely is designed to be network transparent. After all, that was the whole concept behind X-terminals. Also, VNC is nothing like the network transparency of X11. In X, I am able to run a single application on one machine, connecting to an X server running on a different machine. The application will be a first-class citizen in the user environment. This is in contrast to the VNC case where it lives in a separate desktop that is forwarded as a whole to be displayed in a window on the receiver side.
