I'd hate to sound as trollish as some in this thread, but there I have
to agree with Olivier: GTK2 apps are unusable over an "ssh -C -Y" tunnel
whereas core-fonts apps are.
I dunno exactly why, but I remember distinctly when client-side fonts
were switchable in GTK, and the perf hit over ssh (over an ADSL link)
was big.
