Clearly those application where not designed in regard of this use case, 
but my point is about the fact that X was or was not designed for this 
and if it was : is it normal that application defeats this purpose that 
easily ?


The problem I raise, is about the fact that when we always use linux as 
workstation, we more or less forget that X-Window was designed as a network 
application and we get used to use it like Windoze, and we might often not 
see that more and more application are not respectfull of this philosophy.

I raised this as "base", because I don't know what is the cause of this 
very general behaviour and I'd like to make clear, if X was designed in 
regard of this use case, and then, if there is a design flaw, may be in 
programming guidelines, which makes possible such problems.
