No doubt, but I desagree that this should be done.  I want to right a real application, not an AJAX Javascript
ram everything through apache with fiddlestix thing. 

First, this is only the first phase of this application which I hope
will fund more aspects to it.

Secondly, all those fiddlestix aren't GNU Complient, or built on
universal standards.  The google stuff is actually multiple applications
written in parallel for multiple clients, and frankly I HATE THE
BROWSER.

In healthcare the applications have been running out of the browser for
years, and I hate them all.

X is perfectly capable of projecting itself across the net, with and
without VNC, the issue is only bandwidth and security.  And that is what  
I'm looking for expertise in.

They don't have to install VNC.  X11 runs through the browser through a
Java Applet.  Eventually you hope for people to upgrade and then you can
sell appliances.

Overall, this is software as a service like google docs, but without the
browser based restrictions.

You must be a stupid engineer then, because politcs and technology have been attached at the hip since the 1st dynasty in Ancient Egypt.  I guess you missed that one."
