Jeremy is talking about OpenGL indirect rendering mode, not the  
ability to run remote X clients.  Running an xterm over the wire is  
fine, in other words, but if you're trying to run OpenGL apps remotely  
then you won't be able to use the GLX extension (though you could  
always use a software renderer like Mesa, of course).  Given the total  
lack of sense in trying to use the fastest possible 3D acceleration  
while simultaneously putting the client "far away" from the server,  
this is nowhere near as limiting (or "horrible") as it sounds.
