Yeah I know that this is being worked on.  But since Wayland isn't
here yet I wouldn't worry too much about network transparency yet.  As
the intent is not only to replace X windows with a modern replacement
but to also replace X's network transparency with a modern
replacement.  Both are long over due and I for one am looking forward
to seeing what comes out of this.
