X doesn't have a monopoly here. NeWS worked over the network, as
did Steve Uhler's MGR. Y-Windows does as well.
The fundamental problem with X's notion of client/server is that the
proper division of labor between the client and the server can only
be decided on an application-by-application basis, and X doesn't
allow this.

Well, given DRI, even X can't honestly honor this request in the
presence of a driver bug, or having the DRI pipeline crash the card,
requiring a reboot (possibly via three-fingered salute) to fix.
