remote GUI access

[Michael McMahon]

Werner,

I guess what I was referring to is something like X11 tunnelled over
ssh. Though, I understand the UI on the Mac is not based on X11.
It's not about security per-se, more just getting simple Java GUIs running
over a potentially slow network link. If Screen sharing is the only option
then that's fine.

Thanks
Michael.
