X11 forwarding essentially does that anyway nowadays. Modern toolkits don't actually use most of X11 because it's inefficient and unnecessary with the hardware

X11 forwarding essentially does that anyway nowadays. Modern toolkits don't actually use most of X11 because it's inefficient and unnecessary with the hardware we have.

The protocol was designed in the mid-1980s, at a point in time where display resolutions were low and color displays were usually limited to 256 colors or less. As a result, the graphics and text primitives don't support antialiased rendering or any kind of color blending -- so anything using those functions looks rather ugly and dated.
