"Over time, many people have complained about the X Window system; the X Window system, or Xorg in its current most popular implementation, is the layer between applications and the graphics adapter. It has some fantastic features (like the ability to run application over the network) and some shortcoming.
One thing is sure: it has evolved over the last year or so, immensely, especially as far as 3D and hardware acceleration."

from wikipedia:
In computing, LBX, or Low Bandwidth X, was a protocol to use the X Window System over network links with low bandwidth and high latency. It was introduced in X11R6.3 ("Broadway") in 1996, but never achieved wide use. It was disabled by default as of X.Org Server 7.1, and was removed for version 7.2.
And the other options are also less great:
NX is not installed by default,
vnc still needs an X server running on the remote machine
with X over SSH, I can use remote X clients from, for example, an ubuntu server without a GUI, and show them on my windows desktop. x over ssh is great, but slow. my experience with DSL is that it is still too slow, so X over SSH needs work.
