Does anyone genuinely use X11 remotely?
If not daily, then several times per week.
Various use cases:
1) Running a remote browser on a headless server when you're trying to
poke at configuration webservice that's only listening on localhost.
2) SSH tunneling a browser on a remote server to poke at something on
the non-routable network
Do these two via an SSH tunnel. Because passing HTTP/HTTPS through the SSH
connection would be quicker than passing across entire GUI screens.
3) Presenting apps at work from home desktop or
vice-versa depending on what I'm doing.
Something like VNC or RDP would be more convenient for this purpose.
